Operator log-convex functions and operator means

Functional Analysis 2014-12-23 v5

Abstract

We study operator log-convex functions on (0,)(0,\infty), and prove that a continuous nonnegative function on (0,)(0,\infty) is operator log-convex if and only if it is operator monotone decreasing. Several equivalent conditions related to operator means are given for such functions. Operator log-concave functions are also discussed.
