[R] solve 2 var problem

[Liaw, Andy]

trace(K) is just sum(diag(K)).  Assuming by `.' you mean multiplication
(I'll use `*' below),

trace(x*A + y*B) = x*trace(A) + y*trace(B)

Let a = trace(A) = sum(diag(A)) and b = trace(B) = sum(diag(B)).  You are
then looking for (x, y) that satisfy

a*x + b*y < C

which ought to be trivial.  I don't think you need R for that.
