Powers of a matrix

One may raise a square matrix to any nonnegative integer power multiplying it by itself repeatedly in the same way as for ordinary numbers. That is,

Computing the th power of a matrix needs times the time of a single matrix multiplication, if it is done with the trivial algorithm (repeated multiplication). As this may
