Gershgorin’s circle theorem result
Since the eigenvalues![]()
of and transpose
![]()
are the same, you can get an additional set of discs which has the same centers, , but a radius calculated by the column (instead of the rows). If a disc is isolated it must contain an eigenvalue. The eigenvalues must lie in the intersection
![]()
of these circles. Hence, by comparing the row and column discs, the eigenvalues may be located efficiently.
