Eigen::MatrixPower< MatrixType > Class Template Reference

#include <unsupported/Eigen/src/MatrixFunctions/MatrixPower.h>

Detailed Description

template<typename MatrixType>
class Eigen::MatrixPower< MatrixType >

Class for computing matrix powers.

Template Parameters

MatrixType

type of the base, expected to be an instantiation of the Matrix class template.

This class is capable of computing real/complex matrices raised to an arbitrary real power. Meanwhile, it saves the result of Schur decomposition if an non-integral power has even been calculated. Therefore, if you want to compute multiple (>= 2) matrix powers for the same matrix, using the class directly is more efficient than calling MatrixBase::pow().

Example:

#include <unsupported/Eigen/MatrixFunctions>
#include <iostream>

using namespace Eigen;

int main() {
  Matrix4cd A = Matrix4cd::Random();
  MatrixPower<Matrix4cd> Apow(A);

  std::cout << "The matrix A is:\n"
            << A
            << "\n\n"
               "A^3.1 is:\n"
            << Apow(3.1)
            << "\n\n"
               "A^3.3 is:\n"
            << Apow(3.3)
            << "\n\n"
               "A^3.7 is:\n"
            << Apow(3.7)
            << "\n\n"
               "A^3.9 is:\n"
            << Apow(3.9) << std::endl;
  return 0;
}

Output:

The matrix A is:
