Convexity of the Frobenius norm of the product of two matrices

I have the following function for two matrices ${\bf A}$ and ${\bf B}$: $f({\bf A}, {\bf B}) = \| {\bf Y - XAB} \|_F^2 = trace\{({\bf Y - XAB)}^T({\bf Y - XAB)}\}$ where matrices ${\bf X}_{n \times ...

Prove the optimal solution to maximizing nuclear norm with constraints is attained at corner points of feasible region

The nuclear norm (trace norm) of a matrix $X \in \Bbb R^{m \times n}$ is defined as $$\|X\|_* := \sum_{i=1}^{\min(m,n)} \sigma_i(X)$$ where $\sigma_i(X)$ are the singular values of $X$. The ...

Is this function of a matrix convex?

Let $\mathcal{N}_{n}$ be the set of symmetric nonnegative irreducible matrices. For a matrix $A \in \mathcal{N}_{n}$ let $v^{A}$ be its Perron vector, normalized so that $||v^{A}||_{2}=1$. Define the ...
