Abstract: Fillmore Theorem says that if A is an nxn complex non-scalar matrix and {gamma}_1,...,{gamma}_{n} are complex numbers with {gamma}_1+...+{gamma}_{n}=trA, then there exists a matrix B similar to A with diagonal entries {gamma}_1,...,{gamma}_{n}. Borobia simplifies this result and extends it to matrices with integer entries. Fillmore and Borobia do not consider the nonnegativity hypothesis. Here, we introduce a different and very simple way to compute the matrix B similar to A with diagonal {gamma}_1,...,{gamma}_{n}. Moreover, we consider the nonnegativity hypothesis and we show that for a list {Lambda}={{lambda}_1,...,{lambda}_{n}} of complex numbers of Suleimanova or v{S}migoc type, and a given list {Gamma}={{gamma}_1,...,{gamma}_{n}} of nonnegative real numbers, the remarkably simple condition {gamma}_1+...+{gamma}_{n}={lambda}_1+...+{lambda}_{n} is necessary and sufficient for the existence of a nonnegative matrix with spectrum {Lambda} and diagonal entries {Gamma}. This surprising simple result improves a condition recently given by Ellard and v{S}migoc in arXiv:.1702.02650v1.
