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. .. container:: tablenoborder .. list-table:: :header-rows: 1 * - Argument 1 - Argument 2 - Result - Status code * - +0 - neg. odd integer - +∞ - ``oneapi::mkl::vm::status::errdom`` * - -0 - neg. odd integer - -∞ - ``oneapi::mkl::vm::status::errdom`` * - +0 - neg. even integer - +∞ - ``oneapi::mkl::vm::status::errdom`` * - -0 - neg. even integer - +∞ - ``oneapi::mkl::vm::status::errdom`` * - +0 - neg. non-integer - +∞ - ``oneapi::mkl::vm::status::errdom`` * - -0 - neg. non-integer - +∞ - ``oneapi::mkl::vm::status::errdom`` * - -0 - pos. odd integer - +0 -   * - -0 - pos. odd integer - -0 -   * - +0 - pos. even integer - +0 -   * - -0 - pos. even integer - +0 -   * - +0 - pos. non-integer - +0 -   * - -0 - pos. non-integer - +0 -   * - -1 - +∞ - +1 -   * - -1 - -∞ - +1 -   * - +1 - any value - +1 -   * - +1 - +0 - +1 -   * - +1 - -0 - +1 -   * - +1 - +∞ - +1 -   * - +1 - -∞ - +1 -   * - +1 - QNAN - +1 -   * - any value - +0 - +1 -   * - +0 - +0 - +1 -   * - -0 - +0 - +1 -   * - +∞ - +0 - +1 -   * - -∞ - +0 - +1 -   * - QNAN - +0 - +1 -   * - any value - -0 - +1 -   * - +0 - -0 - +1 -   * - -0 - -0 - +1 -   * - +∞ - -0 - +1 -   * - -∞ - -0 - +1 -   * - QNAN - -0 - +1 -   * - a < +0 - non-integer - QNAN - ``oneapi::mkl::vm::status::errdom`` * - \|a\| < 1 - -∞ - +∞ -   * - +0 - -∞ - +∞ - ``oneapi::mkl::vm::status::errdom`` * - -0 - -∞ - +∞ - ``oneapi::mkl::vm::status::errdom`` * - \|a\| > 1 - -∞ - +0 -   * - +∞ - -∞ - +0 -   * - -∞ - -∞ - +0 -   * - \|a\| < 1 - +∞ - +0 -   * - +0 - +∞ - +0 -   * - -0 - +∞ - +0 -   * - \|a\| > 1 - +∞ - +∞ -   * - +∞ - +∞ - +∞ -   * - -∞ - +∞ - +∞ -   * - -∞ - neg. odd integer - -0 -   * - -∞ - neg. even integer - +0 -   * - -∞ - neg. non-integer - +0 -   * - -∞ - pos. odd integer - -∞ -   * - -∞ - pos. even integer - +∞ -   * - -∞ - pos. non-integer - +∞ -   * - +∞ - b < +0 - +0 -   * - +∞ - b > +0 - +∞ -   * - Big finite value\* - Big finite value\* - +/-∞ - ``oneapi::mkl::vm::status::overflow`` * - QNAN - QNAN - QNAN -   * - QNAN - SNAN - QNAN -   * - SNAN - QNAN - QNAN -   * - SNAN - SNAN - QNAN -   \* 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 status code to ``oneapi::mkl::vm::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 status code to ``oneapi::mkl::vm::status::overflow`` (overriding any possible ``oneapi::mkl::vm::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 status code to ``oneapi::mkl::vm::status::accuracy_warning``. .. container:: section .. rubric:: Input Parameters :class: sectiontitle Buffer API: exec_queue The queue where the routine should be executed. n Specifies the number of elements to be calculated. a The buffer ``a`` containing 1st input vector of size ``n``. b The buffer ``b`` containing 2nd input vector of size ``n``. mode Overrides the global VM mode setting for this function call.
