pow

Computes the element-wise exponentiation of vector a elements raised to the power of vector b elements.

Description

The pow(a,b) function computes a to the power b for elements of two vectors.

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

The complex function pow has no input range limitations.

* Overflow in a real function is supported only in the HA/LA accuracy modes. The overflow occurs when x and y are finite numbers, but the result is too large to fit the target precision. In this case, the function:

Returns in the result.
Sets the VM Error Status to status::overflow.

Overflow in a complex function occurs (supported in the HA/LA accuracy modes only) when all RE(x), RE(y), IM(x), IM(y) arguments are finite numbers, but the real or imaginary part of the computed result is so large that it does not fit the target precision. In this case, the function returns in that part of the result, and sets the VM Error Status to status::overflow (overriding any possible status::accuracy_warning status).

The complex double precision versions of this function are implemented in the EP accuracy mode only. If used in HA or LA mode, the functions set the VM Error Status to status::accuracy_warning.

sy: Slice selector for y. See Data Types for a description of the oneMKL slice type.
mode: Overrides the global VM mode setting for this function call. See set_mode function for possible values and their description. This is an optional parameter. The default value is mode::not_defined.
errhandler: Sets local error handling mode for this function call. See the create_error_handler function for arguments and their descriptions. This is an optional parameter. The local error handler is disabled by default.
