Spectral functions on Jordan algebras: differentiability and convexity properties
نویسنده
چکیده
A spectral function on a formally real Jordan algebra is a real-valued function which depends only on the eigenvalues of its argument. One convenient way to create them is to start from a function f : R 7→ R which is symmetric in the components of its argument, and to define the function F (u) := f(λ(u)) where λ(u) is the vector of eigenvalues of u. In this paper, we show that this construction preserves a number of properties which are frequently used in the framework of convex optimization: differentiability, convexity properties and Lipschitz continuity of the gradient for the Euclidean norm with the same constant as for f .

Some 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...
متن کاملLinear Maps Preserving Invertibility or Spectral Radius on Some $C^{*}$-algebras
Let $A$ be a unital $C^{*}$-algebra which has a faithful state. If $varphi:Arightarrow A$ is a unital linear map which is bijective and invertibility preserving or surjective and spectral radius preserving, then $varphi$ is a Jordan isomorphism. Also, we discuss other types of linear preserver maps on $A$.
متن کاملLöwner's Operator and Spectral Functions in Euclidean Jordan Algebras
We study analyticity, differentiability, and semismoothness of Löwner’s operator and spectral functions under the framework of Euclidean Jordan algebras. In particular, we show that many optimization-related classical results in the symmetric matrix space can be generalized within this framework. For example, the metric projection operator over any symmetric cone defined in a Euclidean Jordan a...
متن کاملProx-Regularity of Spectral Functions and Spectral Sets
Important properties such as differentiability and convexity of symmetric functions in Rn can be transferred to the corresponding spectral functions and vice-versa. Continuing to built on this line of research, we hereby prove that a spectral function F : Sn → R ∪ {+∞} is prox-regular if and only if the underlying symmetric function f : Rn → R ∪ {+∞} is prox-regular. Relevant properties of symm...
متن کاملE. Lieb convexity inequalities and noncommutaive Bernstein inequality in Jordan-algebraic setting
We describe a Jordan-algebraic version of E. Lieb convexity inequalities. A joint convexity of Jordan-algebraic version of quantum entropy is proven. A version of noncommutative Bernstein inequality is proven as an application of one of convexity inequalities. A spectral theory on semi-simple complex algebras is used as a tool to prove the convexity results. Possible applications to optimizatio...
