The paper considers the likelihood ratio (LR) test on the block circular symmetric covariance structure of a multivariate Gaussian population with divergent dimension. When the sample size n, the dimension of each block p and the number of blocks u satisfy pu < n − 1 and p = p(n) → ∞ as n → ∞, the asymptotic distribution and the moderate deviation principle of the logarithmic LR test statistic under the null hypothesis are established. Some numerical simulations indicate that the proposed LR test method performs well in the divergent-dimensional block circular symmetric covariance structure test.
