14/// Neumann series solver implementation.
15///
16/// Solves systems of the form Ax = b by reformulating as (I - M)x = D^(-1)b
17/// where M = I - D^(-1)A and D is the diagonal of A.
18///
19/// The solution is computed using the Neumann series:
20/// x = (I - M)^(-1) D^(-1) b = Σ_{k=0}^∞ M^k D^(-1) b
21///
22/// For diagonally dominant matrices, ||M|| < 1, ensuring convergence.
