WOLFE IBM Thomas J. A. Received Revised manuscript received 28 April 1975 Properties of the sum of the q algebraically largest eigenvalues of any real symmetric matrix as a function of the diagonal entries of the matrix are derived. Such a sum is convex but not necessarily everywhere differentiable. A convergent procedure is presented for determining a minimizingpoint of any such sum subject to the condition that the trace of the matrix is held constant.
