Hello Matlab UG:

I ran the following simple script under V2007a:

>> A = [0,1;1,1]

>> A^1000

>> A^10000

The first computation gives 4 numbers (time e+208) as expected.

The second computation gives 4 values of 'Inf'!?!

Is it possible to tell Matlab to use greater precision for its
computations?

TIA.

Regards..
