Abstract
This note provides a description of all those pairs of nonzero vectors \(x,y \in \mathbb{C}^{ n} ,n \geqslant 2\), for which the generalized Wielandt inequality
where \(A \in \mathbb{C}^{n \times n} \) is a Hermitian positive-definite matrix with eigenvalues \(\lambda _1 \geqslant \lambda _2 \geqslant \cdots \geqslant \lambda _n \) such that \(\lambda _1 >\lambda _n \), holds with equality. Bibliography: 3 titles.
