On page 1170, Eq.(14) converges, for any initial conditions, if the matrix A is positive definite. In the original paper, it was asserted that D is nonsingular. This is obviously wrong since one eigenvalue is zero (see Eq.(8)). Thus the positive definiteness of A still remains to be proved. We assume that the non negative weights wi are not identically zero. By definition, A= sDTD+ W and s> 0. Since, for any X, we have XT (DTD) X=∥ DX∥ 2≥ 0 and XTWX= n i= 1 wix2 i≥ 0, one has XTAX≥ 0. Since A is symmetric, A is positive semidefinite.Now, let X be a vector such that XTAX= 0; then (1) DX= 0 and (2) XTWX= 0.(1) From Eq.(8), the n× n matrix D has n distinct eigenvalues, one of them being zero. Therefore, the kernel of D is of dimension 1. Since it is clear that any constant vector belongs to this kernel, the latter consists of the set of the constant vectors. Therefore, since DX= 0, we deduce that X is constant.(2) We write XTWX= n
