There exist several methods in literature to compute largest eigenvalues In [1] power method is used to compute the largest eigenvalues which takes many iterations.In this paper , an attempt has been made to compute the largest eignvalue using the Gerschgorin circles. This method is applicable only when the bound on the right or left half of the s-plane are larger. Examples have been illustrated where the method cannot be applicable. This graphical technique takes fewer computation compared with the existing method. %U http://www.ijcttjournal.org/volume-3/issue-1/IJCTT-V3I1P133.pdf
