Loewner matrices of matrix convex and monotone functions

Functional Analysis 2010-08-06 v2

Abstract

The matrix convexity and the matrix monotony of a real C1C^1 function ff on (0,)(0,\infty) are characterized in terms of the conditional negative or positive definiteness of the Loewner matrices associated with ff, tf(t)tf(t), and t2f(t)t^2f(t). Similar characterizations are also obtained for matrix monotone functions on a finite interval (a,b)(a,b).
