Bo, I am not sure I am going to edit the Wikipedia article as I am not that interested in the subject, but here is some information you might be interested in with respect to Dochev's and other authors' work. The following http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0041-5553(64)90148-X is a translation in English of a paper originally published in Russian – see the first page where Dochev's earlier results are cited. The sufficient condition and quadraticity are there. The [1] from this page, where the results are obtained, is a paper published in 1962 (while Kerner's paper is 1966). You might also find interesting e.g. the paper of Petkovic et al., which is referred to from Wikipedia. It contains references to Dochev's and other people's results. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
