+*** ~least_dominant_eigenvalue~
++ Author: Elizabeth Hunt
++ Name: ~least_dominant_eigenvalue~
++ Location: ~src/eigen.c~
++ Input: a pointer to an invertible matrix ~m~, an initial eigenvector guess ~v~ (that is non
+  zero or orthogonal to an eigenvector with the dominant eigenvalue), a ~tolerance~ and
+  ~max_iterations~ that act as stop conditions
++ Output: the least dominant eigenvalue with the lowest magnitude, approximated with the Inverse
+  Power Iteration Method

 * Question Three
+See ~UTEST(eigen, least_dominant_eigenvalue)~ in ~test/eigen.t.c~ which
+finds the least dominant eigenvalue on the matrix:
 
+\begin{bmatrix}
+2 & 2 & 4 \\
+1 & 4 & 7 \\
+0 & 2 & 6 
+\end{bmatrix}
+
+which has eigenvalues: $5 + \sqrt{17}, 2, 5 - \sqrt{17}$ and should produce $\sqrt{17}$.
