Modulus of convexity for operator convex functions
Creators
Abstract
Given an operator convex function f(x), we obtain an operator-valued lower bound for cf(x) + (1 − c)f(y) − f(cx + (1 − c)y), c ∈ [0, 1]. The lower bound is expressed in terms of the matrix Bregman divergence. A similar inequality is shown to be false for functions that are convex but not operator convex.
