Epigraph of Operator Functions

Abstract

It is known that a real function ff is convex if and only if the set E(f)={(x,y)R×R; f(x)y},\mathrm{E}(f)=\{(x,y)\in\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R};\ f(x)\leq y\}, the epigraph of ff is a convex set in R2\mathbb{R}^2. We state an extension of this result for operator convex functions and CC^*-convex sets as well as operator log-convex functions and CC^*-log-convex sets. Moreover, the CC^*-convex hull of a Hermitian matrix has been represented in terms of its eigenvalues.
