This Demonstration illustrates how the Gershgorin circle theorem can be used to bound the eigenvalues of an matrix . The theorem states that the eigenvalues of must lie in circles defined in the complex plane that are centered on the diagonal elements of with radii determined by the row-norms of , that is, and . If of the circles form a connected region disjoint from the remaining circles, then the region contains exactly eigenvalues.
