Let $\ell$ and $m$ be two $n$-tuples of real numbers. We write $$\ell \preccurlyeq m \quad \text{if and only if, for every integer } j,\, 1 \leqslant j \leqslant n, \quad \ell_{j} \leqslant m_{j}.$$ Let $L, M \in \mathcal{S}_{n}(\mathbb{R})$ such that $(0, \ldots, 0) \preccurlyeq s^{\downarrow}(M - L)$. Show that $s^{\downarrow}(L) \preccurlyeq s^{\downarrow}(M)$.
