In this part, we study the case $n = 2$. For two real numbers $u$ and $v$ such that $u \geqslant v$, we denote: $$S(u, v) = \left\{M \in \mathcal{S}_{2}(\mathbb{R}) \mid s^{\downarrow}(M) = (u, v)\right\}.$$ We fix $b_{1} \geqslant b_{2}$.
Determine a continuous function defined on $[-\pi, \pi]$ whose image equals $S\left(b_{1}, b_{2}\right)$.
