unlist(lapply(1:nrow(ij),function(rowId) { return 
(Powermap[i,j]<-Pr(c(ij$i[rowId],ij$j[rowId]),c(PRX,PRY),f))   }))lapply 
actually catches each return value of the excuted function.
here your function actually returns nothing if the assignment succeeds.

If your purpose for the call to Pr is just its result, then you don't need 
place an assignment here. The lapply can automatically catch the result series.
