中文版:幂法计算器
原理:反复做 v ← Av/‖Av‖,向量会越来越对准绝对值最大的特征值 λ₁ 的特征方向;对归一化向量取 Rayleigh 商 λ = vᵀAv 即得 λ₁ 的估计,误差每轮约缩小 |λ₂/λ₁| 倍。
步骤:① 输入方阵;② 设定迭代轮数;③ 读出主特征值与对应的单位特征向量。
示例:A = [[2, 1], [1, 3]] 的特征值为 (5 ± √5)/2,主特征值 λ₁ = 3.61803398875 ≈ 3.618034,收敛到的方向是 [1, 1.61803398875]——第二分量与第一分量之比正是黄金比例 φ ≈ 1.618。
注意事项:λ₁ 与 λ₂ 绝对值相等(如 ±λ 成对)时幂法在两个方向间振荡不收敛;初向量与主特征向量正交时永远碰不到 λ₁;若想要绝对值较小或按实部选择的特征值,需要位移-反演技巧配合。
