Power iteration

Power iteration is a numerical method used to find the dominant eigenvalue and its corresponding eigenvector of a matrix. This technique is particularly effective for large, sparse matrices, where traditional methods like direct diagonalization may be computationally expensive or impractical. ### How Power Iteration Works: 1. **Initialization**: Start with a random vector \( \mathbf{b_0} \) (which should not be orthogonal to the eigenvector corresponding to the dominant eigenvalue).
