Theorem
Let $n$ be a positive integer.
Let $A = \sqbrk {a_{i j} }$ be a complex square matrix of order $n$.
Let $\lambda$ be an eigenvalue of $A$.
Then there exists $i \in \set {1, 2, \ldots, n}$ such that:
- $\lambda \in \map {\mathbb D} {a_{i i}, R_i}$
where:
- $\ds R_i = \sum_{j \mathop \ne i} \cmod {a_{ i j} }$
- $\map {\mathbb D} {a, R}$ denotes the complex disk of center $a$ and radius $R$.
