Abstract

It is shown that if (vj)n1 is a sequence of norm 1 vectors in a complex Hilbert space and (tj)n1 is a sequence of non-negative numbers satisfying

[formula here]

then there is a unit vector z for which

[formula here]

for every j. The result is a strong, complex analogue of the author's real plank theorem.
