Sep 21, 2020 at 13:05 comment added fs l Yes, I see it, thanks for your reply!
Sep 21, 2020 at 13:04 comment added Carlo Beenakker I added some details, including the special case $b=|a-c|/2$ when $A$ is not diagonalizable.

Sep 21, 2020 at 11:50 comment added fs l Ok, I see. But this case is for diagonalizable matrix right? What if $A$ is not diagonalizable?
Sep 21, 2020 at 11:14 comment added Carlo Beenakker you diagonalize the matrix $A=U\Lambda U^{-1}$, with diagonal $\Lambda$, and then substitute $A^p=U\Lambda^p U^{-1}$, hence ${\rm tr}\,\sigma A^r DA^{n-1-r}={\rm tr}\,\tilde\sigma\Lambda^r \tilde{D}\Lambda^{n-1-r}$, with $\tilde\sigma=U^{-1}\sigma U$ and $\tilde{D}=U^{-1}DU$.
Sep 21, 2020 at 11:06 comment added fs l Thanks for providing this method by using trace trick! But I am a bit confused how to derive the trace equality $(tr(\sigma A^r D A^{n-1-r}))$? Could you give me some hints? Thanks!
