Oct 22, 2020 at 21:47 comment added Sisyphus @TobiasKnauss This was an answer intended to display a neat method without builtins. Of course you could do inv, which is much shorter, but also (imo) much more boring :)
Oct 22, 2020 at 17:38 comment added Tobias Knauss Why not simply use inv(M)???

Oct 21, 2020 at 4:45 comment added Sisyphus Thanks @xnor, that's a significant improvement over explicitly constructing the identity matrix.

Oct 21, 2020 at 3:16 comment added xnor Thanks for sharing this! I didn't know you there was an simple iterative scheme that's guaranteed to converge for an easy-to-compute start value. I know this answer isn't here for golfing, but it looks like you can write V=2*V-V*A*V. There's always writing A^0 for the identity in V*=2*A^0-A*V, but that's one longer.
