In this paper, we show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between operator monotone functions on the nonnegative reals and finite Borel measures on the unit interval. This correspondence appears as an integral representation of…
In this paper we initiate the study of real operator monotonicity for functions of tuples of operators, which are multivariate structured maps with a functional calculus called free functions that preserve the order between real parts (or…
We consider a class of monotone operators which are appropriate for symbolic representation and manipulation within a computer algebra system. Various structural properties of the class (e.g., closure under taking inverses, resolvents) are…
This paper concerns three classes of real-valued functions on intervals, operator monotone functions, operator convex functions, and strongly operator convex functions. Strongly operator convex functions were previously treated in [3] and…
We propose a notion of operator monotonicity for functions of several variables, which extends the well known notion of operator monotonicity for functions of only one variable. The notion is chosen such that a fundamental relationship…
The operator monotone functions defined in the positive half-line are of particular importance. We give a version of the theory in which integral representations for these functions can be established directly without invoking L\"owner's…
Several aspects of the interplay between monotone operator theory and convex optimization are presented. The crucial role played by monotone operators in the analysis and the numerical solution of convex minimization problems is emphasized.…
The new notion of operator/matrix $k$-tone functions is introduced, which is a higher order extension of operator/matrix monotone and convex functions. Differential properties of matrix $k$-tone functions are shown. Characterizations,…

We characterize real functions $f$ on an interval $(-\alpha,\alpha)$ for which the entrywise matrix function $[a_{ij}] \mapsto [f(a_{ij})]$ is positive, monotone and convex, respectively, in the positive semidefiniteness order. Fractional…
Finite Cartesian products of operators play a central role in monotone operator theory and its applications. Extending such products to arbitrary families of operators acting on different Hilbert spaces is an open problem, which we address…
We generalize Loewner's method for proving that matrix monotone functions are operator monotone. The relation x \leq y on bounded operators is our model for a definition for C*-relations of being residually finite dimensional. Our main…
Operator convex functions defined on the positive half-line play a prominent role in the theory of quantum information, where they are used to define quantum $f$-divergences. Such functions admit integral representations in terms of…
Representation formulas for faces and support functions of the values of maximal monotone operators are established in two cases: either the operators are defined on uniformly Banach spaces with uniformly convex duals, or their domains have…
The matrix convexity and the matrix monotony of a real $C^1$ function $f$ on $(0,\infty)$ are characterized in terms of the conditional negative or positive definiteness of the Loewner matrices associated with $f$, $tf(t)$, and $t^2f(t)$.…
Operator $k$-tone functions on an open interval of the real line, which are higher order extensions of operator monotone and convex functions, are characterized via certain inequalities for the real and imaginary parts of analytic…
In this paper, we obtain a new class of functions, which is developed via the Hermite--Hadamard inequality for convex functions. The well-known one-one correspondence between the class of operator monotone functions and operator connections…
For an operator monotone function $f(t)$ on the positive real line, we show the operator monotonicity of the type of the functions $(t-a)(t-b)/(f(t)-f(a))(f^\sharp(t)-f^\sharp(b))$.
We study operator log-convex functions on $(0,\infty)$, and prove that a continuous nonnegative function on $(0,\infty)$ is operator log-convex if and only if it is operator monotone decreasing. Several equivalent conditions related to…
