Integer powers in algebra

The definition of exponentiation with positive integer exponents as repeated multiplication may apply to any associative operation denoted as a multiplication. The definition of x requires further the existence of a multiplicative identity.

An algebraic structure consisting of a set together with an associative operation denoted multiplicatively, and a multiplicative identity denoted by 1 is a monoid. In such a monoid, exponentiation of an element x is defined inductively by

If n is a negative integer, x n {\displaystyle x^{n}} is defined only if x has a multiplicative inverse. In this case, the inverse of x is denoted x, and x is defined as (x − 1) − n. {\displaystyle \left(x^{-1}\right)^{-n}.}

Exponentiation with integer exponents obeys the following laws, for x and y in the algebraic structure, and m and n integers:

These definitions are widely used in many areas of mathematics, notably for groups, rings, fields, square matrices (which form a ring). They apply also to functions from a set to itself, which form a monoid under function composition. This includes, as specific instances, geometric transformations, and endomorphisms of any mathematical structure.

When there are several operations that may be repeated, it is common to indicate the repeated operation by placing its symbol in the superscript, before the exponent. For example, if f is a real function whose valued can be multiplied, f n {\displaystyle f^{n}} denotes the exponentiation with respect of multiplication, and f ∘ n {\displaystyle f^{\circ n}} may denote exponentiation with respect of function composition. That is,

and

Commonly, (f n) (x) {\displaystyle (f^{n})(x)} is denoted f (x) n, {\displaystyle f(x)^{n},} while (f ∘ n) (x) {\displaystyle (f^{\circ n})(x)} is denoted f n (x). {\displaystyle f^{n}(x).}

### Draft ###

### 1. Query Parsing

"Est-ce que ça marche pareil..." → "Does it work the same way..."
User asking about negative exponentiation symmetry: matrices vs functions.
Key semantic: "ça marche pareil" = same computational behavior? Same mathematical properties?

### 2. Core Mathematical Content

**Matrix case:** ● High confidence
- A⁻ⁿ = (A⁻¹)ⁿ = (1/A)ⁿ
- Inverse matrix ↔ reciprocal operation
- Standard algebraic structure

**Function case:** ◐ Partial implementation
- f⁻ⁿ(x) could mean f⁻¹ ∘ f⁻¹ ∘ ... ∘ f⁻¹ (n times)
- OR f ∘ f ∘ ... ∘ f (n times) with some constraint
- Ambiguity in notation ⚠

### 3. Technical Verification

Matrix exponentiation:
```
A⁻ⁿ = (A⁻¹)ⁿ = (1/A)ⁿ 
Example: A⁻³ = (1/A)³ = 1/(A³)
```

Function exponentiation:
? Multiple interpretations possible
- Composition: f⁻ⁿ(x) = f⁻¹(f⁻¹(...f⁻¹(x)...))
- Scaling: f⁻ⁿ(x) = f(x)/n  ?maybe?

### 4. Mathematical Structure Analysis

**Monoids involved:**
- Matrices: multiplicative monoid under matrix multiplication
- Functions: composition monoid (if bijective)

∴ Formal similarity exists but implementation differs:

**Matrices:** Clean algebraic definition
- A⁻¹ exists iff A invertible
- (AB)⁻¹ = B⁻¹A⁻¹
- Well-defined inverse operation

**Functions:** More nuanced
- f⁻¹ may not exist globally  
- Multiple functions can have same inverse
- Composition order matters

### 5. Practical Implementation

**Computational perspective:**
- Matrix A⁻ⁿ: straightforward (assuming invertibility)
- Function f⁻ⁿ(x): requires iterative composition
- Convergence issues possible for function case

**Notation ambiguity:** ⚠ Critical issue
- f⁻ⁿ could mean (f⁻¹)ⁿ or f ∘ n or other interpretations
- No standard notation across mathematical contexts

### 6. Conclusion

**Direct answer:** 
Partial similarity exists. Formal algebraic structure similar but implementation differs due to:

1. **Operation types:** Matrix multiplication vs function composition
2. **Inverse existence:** Always for matrices, conditional for functions  
3. **Notation consistency:** Matrix case cleaner, function case ambiguous

**Key limitation:** Function case requires specification of which composition operation and which inverse definition.

**Final assessment:** ◐ Same mathematical framework, different practical implementation due to structural differences between matrix algebras and function composition monoids.

### Answer###
La notion d'exponentiation avec exposants négatifs fonctionne effectivement de manière similaire pour les matrices et les fonctions, bien qu'avec quelques nuances importantes.

Pour les matrices, l'exponentiation avec exposants négatifs repose sur la notion d'inverse multiplicatif. Si vous avez une matrice A et que vous voulez calculer A⁻ⁿ, vous utilisez le fait que A⁻¹ représente l'inverse de A. Dans ce cas, A⁻ⁿ se calcule comme (A⁻¹)ⁿ, ce qui revient à élever l'inverse de A à la puissance n.

Pour les fonctions, le principe est le même : l'exponentiation avec exposants négatifs utilise l'inverse de la fonction. Si vous avez une fonction f et que vous voulez calculer f⁻ⁿ, cela signifie que vous composez f⁻¹ avec lui-même n fois, où f⁻¹ est l'inverse de f.

Il existe une structure algébrique formelle appelée monoïde qui englobe ces concepts. Cette structure combine un ensemble avec une opération associative et une identité multiplicative. Dans ce cadre, l'exponentiation d'un élément x s'effectue de manière inductive, et l'inverse multiplicatif joue un rôle crucial pour définir les exposants négatifs.

Cependant, il convient de noter que l'utilisation pratique de cette notation peut différer selon le contexte mathématique spécifique, et les conventions peuvent varier entre matrices et fonctions selon les applications.
