We obtain operator concavity (convexity) of some functions of two or three variables by using perspectives of regular operator mappings of one or several variables. As an application, we obtain, for $ 0<p < 1,$ concavity, respectively…
The dominant method for defining multivariate operator means is to express them as fix-points under a contraction with respect to the Thompson metric. Although this method is powerful, it crucially depends on monotonicity. We are developing…
Recently, the authors studied the connection between each maximal monotone operator T and a family H(T) of convex functions. Each member of this family characterizes the operator and satisfies two particular inequalities. The aim of this…
A monotone function interval is the set of monotone functions that lie pointwise between two fixed monotone functions. We characterize the set of extreme points of monotone function intervals and apply this to a number of economic settings.…
Operator monotone functions, introduced by Lowner in 1934, are an important class of real-valued functions. They arise naturally in matrix and operator theory and have various applications in other branches of mathematics and related…
We prove generalizations of L\"owner's results on matrix monotone functions to several variables. We give a characterization of when a function of $d$ variables is locally monotone on $d$-tuples of commuting self-adjoint $n$-by-$n$…
We investigate the operator monotonicity of functions which was considered by V.E. Szabo.
We observe that if f is a continuous function on an interval I and x_0 \in I, then f is operator monotone if and only if the function (f(x) - f(x_0)/(x - x_0) is strongly operator convex. Then starting with an operator monotone function…
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.…
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…
For an operator monotone function $f(t)$ on the positive real line, we show the operator monotonicity of the type of the functions $(t-a)(t-b)/(f(t)-f(a))(f^\sharp(t)-f^\sharp(b))$.
The note contains two remarks to the authors note (Mathematical Notes, Vol. 94, 2013, p. 154 -- 156; in Russian) which was also devoted to sufficient conditions of global operator monotonicity.
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…
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 establish a multivariable non-commutative generalization of L\"owner's classical theorem from 1934 characterizing operator monotone functions as real functions admitting analytic continuation mapping the upper complex…
We study the fixed point problem for a system of multivariate operators that are coordinate-wise monotone (i.e., nondecreasing or nonincreasing in each of the variables, independently), in the setting of quasi-ordered sets. We show that…
Abstract convexity generalises classical convexity by considering the suprema of functions taken from an arbitrarily defined set of functions. These are called the abstract linear (abstract affine) functions. The purpose of this paper is to…
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…
In this paper, we will show a new characterization of operator monotone functions by a matrix reverse Cauchy inequality.
The most important open problem in Monotone Operator Theory concerns the maximal monotonicity of the sum of two maximally monotone operators provided that the classical Rockafellar's constraint qualification holds. In this paper, we…
