The variation of a class of Orlicz moments with respect to the Asplund sum within the class of log-concave functions is demonstrated. Such a variational formula naturally leads to a family of dual Orlicz curvature measures for log-concave…

Employing the notion of operator log-convexity, we study joint concavity$/$ convexity of multivariable operator functions: $(A,B)\mapsto F(A,B)=h\left[ \Phi(f(A))\ \sigma\ \Psi(g(B))\right]$, where $\Phi$ and $\Psi$ are positive linear maps…
