“…It is interesting to investigate the differentiability class of the volume functions, as well as the nature of singularities, but we shall say nothing about this problem here, we only notice that this is one of the subjects studied in [3], [5], [6], and we refer the interested reader to these articles. The other aspects of I and J briefly mentioned in the previous paragraphs, in particular their relations with the Horn and the Schur problems, will not be discussed in the present paper either, we refer the reader to the same articles, as well as to [2,4,17], and to the forthcoming thesis [18].…”
