Rotationally invariant rank 1 convex functions (Q5944674): Difference between revisions

The author deals with functions defined on the set \(M^{n\times n}\) of all \(n\) by \(n\) real matrices. If such a function \(f\) is rotationally invariant with respect to the proper orthogonal group, then it has a representation \(\widetilde{f}\) through the signed singular values of the matrix argument \(A\in M^{n\times n}\). The author gives necessary and sufficient conditions for the rank 1 convexity of \(f\) in terms of its representation \(\widetilde{f}\).
