In 1980, he and Kala extended this result to the matrix equation

In 1995, Baksalary and Sujit Kumar Mitra introduced the "left-star" and "right-star" partial orderings on the set of complex matrices, which are defined as follows. The matrix A is below the matrix B in the left-star ordering, written
