5.5249 + 4.9724i 5.2762 + 0.24862i 2.7624 + 2.4862i<br />

0.74114 + 11.643i 5.5249 + 4.9724i 0.49252 + 6.9189i<br />

Then pick an <strong>in</strong>itial guess an multiply by this matrix raised to a large power.<br />

⎡<br />

−0.61919 − 10.545i −5.5249 − 4.9724i<br />

−0.37057 − 5.8213i<br />

⎣ 5.5249 + 4.9724i 5.2762 + 0.24862i 2.7624 + 2.4862i ⎦<br />

0.74114 + 11.643i 5.5249 + 4.9724i 0.49252 + 6.9189i<br />

This equals<br />

⎡<br />

1.5629 × 10 13 − 3.8993 × 10 12 i<br />

⎤<br />

⎣ −5.8645 × 10 12 + 9.7642 × 10 12 i ⎦<br />

−1.5629 × 10 13 + 3.8999 × 10 12 i<br />

Now divide by an entry to make the vector have reasonable size. This yields<br />

⎡<br />

0.49999 − 0.49999i ⎦<br />

Now to determ<strong>in</strong>e the eigenvalue, you could just take the ratio of correspond<strong>in</strong>g entries. Pick the two<br />

correspond<strong>in</strong>g entries which have the largest absolute values. In this case, you would get the eigenvalue is<br />

1 + i which happens to be the exact eigenvalue. Thus an eigenvector and eigenvalue are<br />
