Gershgorin Circle theorem- implications












1














(I am considering only real matrices)



Does only hold that if the area of all Gershgorin Circles is positiv $Rightarrow$ the Matrix is positiv definit (trivial)



or does also follow the vice versa



the Matrix is positiv definit $Rightarrow$ the area of all Gershgorin Circles is positiv

          The reverse direction does not hold:
          $$
          A=pmatrix{ 1 & 2\ 2 & 10}
          $$

          is positive definite, but the Gershgorin circle for the first row contains numbers with negative real part.

          • Thanks, I found something like it for special matrices in my old exercise papers and was wondering if I can use it to check if a $LL^T$ Cholesky decomposition is possible, seems it is not the case, thanks
