Matrix Power() is not working properly about la4j HOT 4 CLOSED

Actually the method matrix.power(n) works properly. What you are looking for is a function which applies an exponent to each element.

What matrix.power(n) is doing:

I have to see through all the functions and conceps where such element-wise power function would fit into or if it already exists. This is called Hadamard product.

from la4j.

There is now a new method Matrix.hadamardPower(int n) which technically does what was asked for. Please try out.

This function uses the Hadmard product in order to produce Matrices with powers of n for each element. This function does not modify the origin matrix, a new matrix is created. When n=1 a copy of the source matrix is returned. As ⊚ is used to symbolize the Hadamard product operator, the operation looks like:

(A⊚B)_ij = (A)_ij⊚(B)_ij

There are also test cases included for demonstration.
