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…
Given an operator convex function $f(x)$, we obtain an operator-valued lower bound for $cf(x) + (1-c)f(y) - f(cx + (1-c)y)$, $c \in [0,1]$. The lower bound is expressed in terms of the matrix Bregman divergence. A similar inequality is…

We provide comparison principles for convex functions through its proximal mappings. Consequently, we prove that the norm of the proximal operator determines a convex the function up to a constant. A new characterization of Lipschitzianity…

We consider convex trace functions $\Phi_{p,q,s} = Trace[ (A^{q/2}B^p A^{q/2})^s]$ where $A$ and $B$ are positive $n\times n$ matrices and ask when these functions are convex or concave. We also consider operator convexity/concavity of…
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…
Functions that are piecewise defined are a common sight in mathematics while convexity is a property especially desired in optimization. Suppose now a piecewise-defined function is convex on each of its defining components - when can we…
This short but self-contained survey presents a number of elegant matrix/operator inequalities for general convex or concave functions, obtained with a unitary orbit technique. Jensen, sub or super-additivity type inequalities are…
