^

x ^ y -- a binary operator used for powers and raising nets.

The user may install binary methods for this operator with code such as 

              X ^ Y := (x,y) -> ...
where X is the class of x and Y is the class of y.

Here are some methods for computing powers:

  • SimplePowerMethod
  • BinaryPowerMethod

    • If n is 0, then the unit element (class x)#1 is returned. If n is negative, then the method named InverseMethod will be called.
