1//! Neumann series solver for asymmetric diagonally dominant systems.
2//!
3//! This module implements a sublinear-time solver based on the Neumann series
4//! expansion (I - M)^(-1) = Σ M^k, optimized for diagonally dominant matrices.

12/// Neumann series solver implementation.
13///
14/// Solves systems of the form Ax = b by reformulating as (I - M)x = D^(-1)b
15/// where M = I - D^(-1)A and D is the diagonal of A.
16///
17/// The solution is computed using the Neumann series:
18/// x = (I - M)^(-1) D^(-1) b = Σ_{k=0}^∞ M^k D^(-1) b
19///
20/// For diagonally dominant matrices, ||M|| < 1, ensuring convergence.
