In the setting of a semi-FTvN system (in particular, in an FTvN system), we show that strong commutativity implies commutativity and observe that in the special case of Euclidean Jordan algebra, commutativity and strong commutativity concepts reduce, respectively, to those of operator and strong operator commutativity. We demonstrate that every complete hyperbolic polynomial induces a semi-FTvN system. By way of an application, we describe several commutation principles.38 pagesen-USAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.enText
