SquareMatrixPower Method

public SquareMatrix Power(
	int n
)

Public Function Power ( 
	n As Integer
) As SquareMatrix

public:
SquareMatrix^ Power(
	int n
)

member Power : 
        n : int -> SquareMatrix 

Parameters

n

Type: SystemInt32
The power to which to raise the matrix, which must be positive.

Return Value

This method uses exponentiation-by-squaring, so typically only of order log(n) matrix multiplications are required. This improves not only the speed with which the matrix power is computed, but also the accuracy.
