Spectral Theory
The Lanczos algorithm is an iterative method used to compute the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of large sparse symmetric matrices. By transforming the original matrix into a much smaller tridiagonal matrix, it simplifies the computation of eigenvalues, making it particularly effective for problems where direct methods would be computationally expensive or infeasible.
congrats on reading the definition of Lanczos Algorithm. now let's actually learn it.
