Describe your change:

This PR extends the standard version of the power iteration to handle complex Hermitian input matrices. The only algorithmic change for complex-valued matrices is that the (simplified) Rayleigh Quotient for finding the eigenvalue needs to use the conjugate transpose (x^H M x) rather than the regular transpose (x^T M x).

I also fixed a typo in the documentation ("eignevalue" -> "eigenvalue").

  • Add an algorithm?
  • [] Fix a bug or typo in an existing algorithm?
  • Documentation change?

@cclauss -- I think I fixed the flake8 issue, could you please run the tests again?
