NAME
   hat (^) - exponentiation
  
CALLING SEQUENCE
 A^b
DESCRIPTION
   Exponentiation of matrices or vectors by a constant vector.
  
   If A is a vector or a rectangular matrix the exponentiation is done
  element-wise, with the usual meaning.
  
   For square A matrices the exponentiation is done in the matrix sense.
  
   For boolean, polynomial and rational matrices, the exponent must be an
  integer
  
   Remark that 123.^b is interpreted as (123).^b. In such cases dot is part
  of the operator, not of the number. 
  
EXAMPLES
