Concavity of certain matrix trace and norm functions

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We refine Epstein's method to prove joint concavity/convexity of matrix trace functions of the extended Lieb type TrPhi(Ap)1/2Psi(Bq)Phi(Ap)1/2s, where Phi and Psi are positive linear maps. By the same method combined with majorization technique, similar properties are proved for symmetric (anti-) norm functions of the form ||Phi(Ap)sigmaPsi(Bq)s|| involving an operator mean sigma. Carlen and Lieb's variational method is also used to improve the convexity property of norm functions ||Phi(Ap)s||.
