A considerable amount is known about the latent roots of matrices of the form in the case when each cross-product of non-diagonal elements, a i c i-1 , is positive. One forms the sequence of polynomials f r (λ) = |L r −λI| for r = 1, 2, … n , and observes that then it is easy to deduce that (i) the zeros of f n (λ) and f n_1 (λ) interlace—that is, between two consecutive zeros of either polynomial lies precisely one zero of the other (ii) at the zeros of f n (λ) the values of f n-x (λ) are alternately positive and negative, (iii) all the zeros of f n (λ) — i.e. all the latent roots of L n —are real and different.
当非对角线元素的每个叉乘(A ic i-1)为正时,对于这种形式的矩阵的潜根,我们已经知道了相当多的信息。1形式的多项式序列f r(λ)= | L r−λ我| r = 1, 2,…n,然后发现,很容易推断出(I)的0 n(λ)和f n_1(λ)interlace-that,连续两个零多项式的谎言一个零的其他(ii)的0 n的值(λ)f n *(λ)交替积极和消极,(iii)的0 f n(λ)——即所有的潜在根源L n——真正的不同。

and any solution of R(DV ...,Dm)z = 0 (3) is also a solution of (1). The converse proposition, that every integral of (1) is the sum of an integral of (2) and an integral of (3), was postulated by Hadamard (1), in the case of m = 2, for linear equations with constant or variable coefficients, provided only that the two operators Q, R are commutative. This result was established by Cerf (2) and by Janet (3), who extended it to a very general case which certainly includes that under consideration here. The proof of the general theorem is not simple, however ; and in the case mentioned below (§3), in which the equation is fully reducible, most textbooks are content to assume the result without proof. We shall now give a purely elementary proof of this converse theorem, in the case when one of the factors of P, R say, is a power of a linear expression in Dv ..., Dm, which is not a factor of Q. We shall make the hypothesis that any partial differential equation of the form T(DV ...,Dm)z=4>{xl,...,xn) admits at least one integral, provided only that satisfies sufficient conditions of continuity, and that the symbolic polynomial T is not identically zero. By suitable labelling, we may ensure that the linear factor of P contains Dv Thus let the equation considered be {(Dx-a2D2-...-amDm-bYQ(Dv ..., Dm)}z = 0, (4)
