This uses #481 (and is actually why I made #481).
I still need to write the docstring.
I tried to make this efficient by performing repeated squaring. For example, for
A.power(8)
, this will compute:This makes the implementation a little... uh... not obvious, but it works well.
A.power(n)
returns an expression so mask can be applied. Even if a mask is used, an intermediate resultA.power(n // 2)
can still be pretty large--we only apply the mask on the very last matrix multiply.I decided to require
n
to be a positive integer.n == 0
could return "the" identity, but what would be the identity for different semirings?This method will let us easily and efficiently implement
