 Solution

The first row has off-diagonal sum $a_{12}<1/4$. Rows $2,\dots ,n-1$ have sums less than $1/2$, and the last row has sum $c+a_{n,n-1}<5/4$, since $0<c<1$. Every row except the second therefore has its Gershgorin disc strictly away from zero: its centre is at least one in the first row and at least three in the remaining rows.

For the second row, an exact sufficient condition is $|b|>a_{21}+a_{23}$. Since the sum is strictly below $1/2$, the coefficient-independent boundsguarantee that zero is outside every Gershgorin disc. Consequently zero is not an eigenvalue and $A$ is an invertible matrix. Equality at $\pm 1/2$ is allowed because the off-diagonal entry bounds are strict. These are sufficient strict diagonal dominance bounds; values of $b$ between them can also give invertible matrices.
