-----Original Message----- From: Matthias.Bode at oppenheim.de [mailto:Matthias.Bode at oppenheim.de] To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net Subject: [mg27119] [mg27079] Raise lists of a list to powers Dear Colleagues, I have a list of lists {{a, b, c}, {d, e, f}, {g, h, i}, ...}. 1. To each value 1 has to be added. (I can do that.) 2. The new values (a+1, b+1, ...) have to be raised to a series of powers: a, d, g have to be raised to r; b, e, h have to be raised to s and c, f, i to t. There is no function governing the exponents r, s, t; they are just a list of values like -(1/256) or -(1/12). Map, Thread, Apply &c. so far knew to thwart my efforts most effectively. Thank you very much for your help. Matthias Bode Sal. Oppenheim jr. & Cie.
