Abstract

The commutation principle of Ramirez, Seeger, and Sossa \cite{ramirez-seeger-sossa} proved in the setting of Euclidean Jordan algebras says that when the sum of a Fr\'{e}chet differentiable function Θ(x)\Theta(x) and a spectral function F(x)F(x) is minimized over a spectral set Ω\Omega, any local minimizer aa operator commutes with the Fr\'{e}chet derivative Θ(a)\Theta^{\prime}(a). In this paper, we extend this result to sets and functions which are (just) invariant under algebra automorphisms. We also consider a similar principle in the setting of normal decomposition systems.
