Throughout this part, $n$ denotes an integer greater than or equal to 3, and $p = [(n+1)/2]$ is the integer part of $(n+1)/2$.
Let $\lambda_1, \lambda_2, \lambda_3$ be three real numbers satisfying $$\lambda_1 \geqslant \lambda_2 \geqslant \lambda_3 \quad \lambda_1 - \lambda_2 - 2\lambda_3 \geqslant 0 \quad 2\lambda_1 + \lambda_2 - \lambda_3 \geqslant 0$$
We define the Hankel matrix $M = H(a,b,c,b,a) = \begin{pmatrix} a & b & c \\ b & c & b \\ c & b & a \end{pmatrix}$, where $a, b, c$ are real.
Explicitly express $a, b, c$ (with $b \geqslant 0$) as functions of $\lambda_1, \lambda_2, \lambda_3$, such that $\operatorname{Spo}(M) = (\lambda_1, \lambda_2, \lambda_3)$.
