Abstract

In this paper, an error in the proof of Theorem 4.9 in Gudder’s paper (Int. J. Theor. Phys. 47(1):268–279, 2008) is pointed out and it is proved that if \(\mathcal {E}\approx \{E_{1},E_{2},\ldots,E_{n}\}\in\mathcal {Q}_{pos}({\mathcal{H}})\setminus \mathcal {Q}_{pro}({\mathcal{H}})\) such that E i ∈ℂI∖{0} and E j I for some i,j in {1,2,…,n}, then \(\mathcal {E}\notin \mbox{Ext}[\mathcal {Q}_{pos}({\mathcal{H}})]\) .
