Convex Analysis of Spectrally Defined Matrix Functions
The purpose of this work is to carry out a systematic study of a special class of convex functions defined over the space Sn of symmetric matrices of order n×n. The functions under consideration (Φ : Sn → R∪ {+∞}) are spectrally defined in the sense that the value Φ(A) depends only on the spectrum {λ1(A), . . . , λn(A)} of the matrix A ∈ Sn. Fenchel–Legendre conjugation, firstand second-order s...
متن کاملTrace-Inequalities and Matrix-Convex Functions
A real-valued continuous function f t on an interval α, β gives rise to a map X → f X via functional calculus from the convex set of n × n Hermitian matrices all of whose eigenvalues belong to the interval. Since the subpace of Hermitianmatrices is providedwith the order structure induced by the cone of positive semidefinite matrices, one can consider convexity of this map. We will characterize...
متن کاملSingular values of convex functions of matrices
Let $A_{i},B_{i},X_{i},i=1,dots,m,$ be $n$-by-$n$ matrices such that $sum_{i=1}^{m}leftvert A_{i}rightvert ^{2}$ and $sum_{i=1}^{m}leftvert B_{i}rightvert ^{2}$ are nonzero matrices and each $X_{i}$ is positive semidefinite. It is shown that if $f$ is a nonnegative increasing convex function on $left[ 0,infty right) $ satisfying $fleft( 0right) =0 $, then $$2s_{j}left( fleft( fra...
متن کاملThe Convex Analysis of Unitarily Invariant Matrix Functions
A fundamental result of von Neumann’s identifies unitarily invariant matrix norms as symmetric gauge functions of the singular values. Identifying the subdifferential of such a norm is important in matrix approximation algorithms, and in studying the geometry of the corresponding unit ball. We show how to reduce many convex-analytic questions of this kind to questions about the underlying gauge...
متن کاملSome Results on Convex Spectral Functions: I
In this paper, we give a fundamental convexity preserving for spectral functions. Indeed, we investigate infimal convolution, Moreau envelope and proximal average for convex spectral functions, and show that this properties are inherited from the properties of its corresponding convex function. This results have many applications in Applied Mathematics such as semi-definite programmings and eng...
