Concavity and convexity of several maps involving
Tracy-Singh products, Khatri-Rao products, and
operator-monotone functions of positive operators
Arnon Ploymukda, Pattrawut Chansangiam*
ABSTRACT: We establish concavity and convexity theorems for a number of operator-valued maps involving TracySingh products and Khatri-Rao products of positive operators on a Hilbert space. Operator means serve as useful tools
for some convexity results. We also investigate certain maps dealing with positive operator-monotone functions. In
this case, the concavity and the convexity of such maps are examined through suitable integral representations of the
operator-monotone functions on the unit interval with respect to finite Borel measures.
