In this work the tight binding model calculations are carried out for AA-Bilayer Graphene nanoribbons as an example of bilayer systems. The effects of edges, NNN hopping, and impurities of a single layer are introduced numerically as a change in the elements of the relevant block diagonal matrix appearing in the direct diagonalization method. The direct interlayer hopping between the top and the bottom single layers is constructed in the generalized direct diagonalization method by the off-diagonal block matrices in which the strength of the interlayer hopping is included.
