Let be a hermitian matrix in partitioned form. Let the eigenvalues of A, B, C be α1 ≥ … ≥ αa, β1 ≥ … ≥ βb, γ1 ≥ … ≥ γn, respectively. In this paper four classes of inequalities are proved comparing the αi. and βj with the γk. The simplest of these is: if the subscripts is, js satisfy 1 ≤ i1 < … < im ≤ α, 1 ≤ j1 < … < jm ≤ b.
