Description

The v?Powx function computes a to the power b for a vector a and a scalar b.

The real function v(s/d)Powx has certain limitations on the input range of a and b parameters. Specifically, if a[i] is positive, then b may be arbitrary. For negative a[i], the value of b must be an integer (either positive or negative).

The complex function v(c/z)Powx has no input range limitations.

Special values and VM Error Status treatment are the same as for the v?Pow function.
