Showing how the Gershgorin discs coincide with the spectrum for a diagonal matrix. In the first image is the original matrix as the scaling factor p=1 and, in the following images the off-diagonal elements are scaled away by decreasing p. Hence, the diagonal elements approaches the eigenvalues and the Gerschgorin discs decreases in radius and disappears. Bold circles represents eigenvalues and pluses are midpoints of the circles.
