Solution: 2017-01 Eigenvalues of Hermitian matrices

Let \( A, B, C \) be \( N \times N \) Hermitian matrices with \( C = A+B \). Let \( \alpha_1 \geq \dots \geq \alpha_N \), \( \beta_1 \geq \dots \geq \beta_N \), \( \gamma_1 \geq \dots \geq \gamma_N \) be the eigenvalues of \( A, B, C \), respectively. For any \( 1 \leq k \leq N \), prove that
\[ \gamma_1 + \gamma_2 + \dots + \gamma_k \leq (\alpha_1 + \alpha_2 + \dots + \alpha_k) + (\beta_1 + \beta_2 + \dots + \beta_k) \]
