Sufficient conditions for the solvability of an algebraic inverse eigenvalue problem (Q1893110)

Some sufficient conditions are derived for the existence of real numbers \(c_1, \ldots, c_n\) such that \(A + \sum^n_{t = 1} c_t A_t\) has a prescribed set of eigenvalues, where \(A\), \(A_1, \ldots, A_n\) are given \(n \times n\) Hermitian matrices. Examples are given which satisfy these conditions but which do not satisfy some previously known sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions.
