The term "power method" is commonly used in mathematics and computer science to describe an iterative algorithm used in linear algebra to find the dominant eigenvalue and eigenvector of a square matrix. Synonyms for this term include the "dominant eigenvalue method," the "iterative power method," the "Google PageRank algorithm," the "Rayleigh quotient iteration method," and the "inverse iteration method." These terms refer to variations of the power method that are used to solve different problems, such as finding the eigenvalues of non-square matrices or solving systems of linear equations. Regardless of the specific terminology used, the power method remains an important tool for researchers in various technical fields.
