A function for raising a matrix to a power?
Hi, Is there a function for raising a matrix to a power? For example if you like to compute A%*%A%*%A, is there an abbreviation similar to A^3? Atte Tenkanen > A=rbind(c(1,1),c(-1,-2)) > A [,1] [,2] [1,] 1 1 [2,] -1 -2 > A^3 [,1] [,2] [1,] 1 1 [2,] -1 -8 But: > A%*%A%*%A [,1] [,2] [1,] 1 2 [2,] -2 -5
