In the complex case, the set of supporting vectorsof a nonzero functional is proved to be path-connected. We also introducethe concept of generalized supporting vectors for a sequence of operators asthe normalized vectors that maximize the summation of the squared norm ofthose operators. We determine the set of generalized supporting vectors forthe particular case of a finite sequence of real matrices. Finally, we unveil therelation between the supporting vectors of a real matrix A and the Tikhonovregularization minx∈Rn kAx − bk + αkxk reaching the conclusion that, by anappropriate choice of b and α, the supporting vectors of A can be obtained viasolving the Tikhonov regularization minx∈Rn kAx − bk + αkxk.
