TMtx.MtxPower Methods

Summary

Calculates the matrix to any power, real or integer.

Class
TMtx

Declaration

Function MtxPower(Src: TMtx; Exponent: TCplx; SourceType: TMtxType = mtGeneral): TMtx;

Description

Calculate the matrix to complex power Exponent.

Declaration

Function MtxPower(Src: TMtx; Exponent: TSample; SourceType: TMtxType = mtGeneral): TMtx;

Description

Calculate the matrix to any power, real or integer. It can also be used to compute the square root of the matrix. Because the MtxFunction method is based on the eigenvalue decomposition and the eigenvalue, the SourceType for symmetric and symmetric positive definite matrices has to be defined explicitly.

NOTE: The algorithm for general matrices will fail on a symmetric matrix.
