_gr_vec_set_powers
Synopsis
#include <flint/gr_vec.h>The default multiplies by x repeatedly, except in finite rings and rings with a real precision, where it computes even powers by squaring (x^{2k} = (x^k)^2, x^{2k+1} = x^{k+1} x^k), which reduces the error growth of floating-point and ball arithmetic.
