Convexity conditions of Kantorovich function and related semi-infinite linear matrix inequalities (Q550103)

As main results we notify the following two assertions: The 2-dimensional Kantorovich function is convex iff the condition number of its matrix is less than or equal to \(3+2\sqrt 2\); the Kantorovich function is convex when the condition number of its matrix (which can be of any dimension) is less than or equal to \(\sqrt{5+2\sqrt 6}\).
