hi, i want to redefine the Power function for matrices like that: Power[A_?MatrixQ,n_]:=mppower[A,n]; If n is a number, then it should execute the function mppower[], elseif Head[n]=symbol, it should return the matrix with exp n as symbol without execution. How can I prevent the recursion of the Power-Function? Thanks.
