mpower, ^

Fixed-point matrix power (^)

Description

example

Y = A^k computes A to the k power for fi inputs and returns the result in Y.

The matrix power operation is performed using default fimath settings.

The fixed-point output array Y has the same local fimath as the input A. If A has no local fimath, the output Y also has no local fimath.

example

Y = mpower(A,k) is an alternate way to execute A^k.
