The purpose of this note is to provide characterizations of operator convexity and give an alternative proof of a two-dimensional analogue of a theorem of Löwner concerning operator monotonicity.
The main aim is to estimate the noncentrality matrix of a noncentral Wishart distribution. The method used is Leung's but generalized to a matrix loss function. Parallelly Leung's scalar noncentral Wishart identity is generalized to become a matrix identity. The concept of Löwner partial ordering of symmetric matrices is used.
We consider inequalities between sums of monomials that hold for all p-Newton sequences. This continues recent work in which inequalities between sums of two, two-term monomials were combinatorially characterized (via the indices involved). Our focus is on the case of sums of three, two-term monomials, but this is very much more complicated. We develop and use a theory of exponential polynomial inequalities to give a sufficient condition for general monomial sum inequalities, and use the sufficient...
We extend a monotonicity result of Wang and Gong on the product of positive definite matrices in the context of semisimple Lie groups. A similar result on singular values is also obtained.
