[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #49832] power operator produces different results between Matlab & Octave

[Rik]

Update of bug #49832 (project octave):

                  Status:               Need Info => Confirmed              
                 Summary: operations on double limites are not compatiable to
matlab => power operator produces different results between Matlab & Octave

Follow-up Comment #2:

The only difference I see is with the power operator.  For the other matrices,
I used 'isequaln' which compares equality with NaN comparing equal to NaN. 
Because of the NaNs one can't use the equality operator '==', subtraction, or
isequal, to determine if the matrices are equal.

For the power operator, there are differences between how the operator is
computed for scalars and matrices.

For example,


-Inf .^ -Inf
ans = -0


But,


[-Inf 0] .^ [-Inf 1]
ans =

   NaN - NaNi     0 +   0i
