.^

Element-wise matrix power operator.

Syntax

R = x.^y

Inputs

x
The base.
Dimension: scalar
y
The exponent.
Dimension: scalar

Outputs

R
The power operation result.
Dimension: scalar | matrix

Example

Scalar raised to a scalar power:
R = 2 .^ 3
R = 8
Matrix raised to a scalar power, element-wise:
R = [2, 3; 4, 5] .^ 2
R = [Matrix] 2 x 2
 4   9
16  25
Matrix raised to a matrix power, element-wise:
R = [2, 3; 4, 5] .^ [3, 2; 2, 1]
R = [Matrix] 2 x 2
 8  9
16  5
