Nov 2, 2013 at 2:19 comment added Norouzi Your comment made me realize that I had a typo in the direction of my inequality which is related to $\mathrm{trace}(AB) \le \langle \lambda^\downarrow(A), \lambda^\downarrow(B) \rangle$. Also, my problem is $\mathrm{argmax}$ not $\mathrm{argmin}$ which is corrected now. Thanks!

Nov 1, 2013 at 23:16 comment added Suvrit For two posdef matrices, it is known that $\text{trace}(AB) \ge \langle \lambda^\downarrow(A), \lambda^\uparrow(B) \rangle$, which yields the inequality that you mention (because $RAR^T$ is also positive definite), though you must be careful that $c$ and $d$ are sorted in opposite order as the $\downarrow$ and $\uparrow$ above indicate...
