Let C = (Aij)1≤i, j≤t be a hermitian matrix in partitioned form; here Aij, is an ni × nj. block. The purpose of this paper is to obtain inequalities linking the eigenvalues of C to those of the main diagonal blocks A11, …, Att of C.

These inequalities include, as special cases, inequalities due to N. Aronszajn and A. Hoffman.
