“…For arbitrary vectorsx (1) ,x (2) ∈ M n , denote by t the total number of pairs (c 1 , c 2 ), (c 3 , 0), (0, c 4 ) among n possible pairs x j (1) , x j (2) , 1 ≤ j ≤ n, with the property that c 1 c 2 c 3 c 4 = 0 for all c 1 , c 2 , c 3 , c 4 ∈ GF(3). Then t = i + l + h and the total number of pairs of vectors x (1) ,x (2) for which equality (21) holds is found from the following equation:…”
