May 19, 2017 at 12:38 comment added martin cripps Maybe edit the question then to make this clear?
May 19, 2017 at 11:54 comment added Ludwig @martincripps: $A$ must be symmetric positive definite and such that $\mathrm{tr}(A)=1$.
May 19, 2017 at 11:40 comment added martin cripps Suppose $A$ has only two non-zero elements, $a_{12}$ and $a_{21}$, satisfying $\alpha=a_{12}d_1$ and $\alpha=a_{21}d_2$ (where $D$ has $(d_1,d_2,\dots,d_n)$ on the diagonal), then isn't the bottom of this equal to zero?
