Hello,

The problem is the actual tolerance of Scilab which allows to omit the dot fot the power operator:

--> [1 2 3]^2
 ans  =

   1.   4.   9.

although Matlab does not allow it:

>> [1 2 3]^2
Error using  ^
Incorrect dimensions for raising a matrix to a power. Check that the matrix is square and the power is a scalar. To perform elementwise matrix powers, use '.^'.

I don't understand le role of the « point » operator '.'
The dot is used to have an element-wise operation.

The difference is when you work with matrices, e.g. the product * will make a 
matrix product

C = A*B -> C(i, j) = sum_k (A(i, k), B(k, j))

but .* will make the elementwise product

C = A.*B -> C(i, j) = A(i, j)*B(i, j)
