Extract

It is easy to see that Problem 02.1.2 holds more generally in that the result is valid for B Hermitian complex (rather than “symmetric real”), for m = 0,1,…,q (rather than just for “m < q”), for r ≠ 0 (rather than just for “integer r > 1”), and for tr(Bk) = tr(Ck), k = 1,2,3,4 (rather than for “k = 1,2,…”), as shown by Shanbhag (1970).
