Log-convexity of determinant

Let $f(z):=\langle g(z),g(z)\rangle,$ where $z \mapsto g(z)$ is holomorphic and $\langle \bullet,\bullet\rangle$ is an inner-product on some function space, such as $L^2$, such that $\langle g(z),g(z)\...

Vector recurrences (asymptotic property)

Fix $m\in \mathbb{N}.$ For each $n\in \mathbb{N},$ let $A_n\in \mathbb{M}_{m}(\mathbb{C}),$ $X_n\in \mathbb{C}^m,$ and $B_n\in \mathbb{C}^m.$ Suppose that $$X_{n+1}=A_n X_n+B_n,$$ $$\lim_{n\rightarrow ...

How to prove or disprove $ |r'(a)| \leq c_1 \sup_{x \in [a-1/2,a+1/2]} |r(x)|$?

Let $ A = \begin{bmatrix} a & 1 \\ 0 & a \end{bmatrix}$ be a Jordan matrix with $ -1 < a < 1 $. Let $r(z) = \frac{p(z)}{q(z)}$ be an irreducible rational function, where $p(...

Are $\log(\sigma(A(z))$ subharmonic functions?

Let $A$ be a matrix-valued entire function. It is then well-known that $\log \Vert A(z)\Vert$ is subharmonic. In particular, the operator norm is just the largest singular value of $A$. Is it ...

Finding roots of equation with gamma functions

Encountered this function in one of my research problems $$\frac{\Gamma \left(1-\dfrac{i c}{a}-\gamma \right) \Gamma \left(1+\dfrac{i c}{a}+\dfrac N 2-\gamma \right)}{\Gamma \left(1+\dfrac{i c}{a}-\...

Conditions to obtain a real logarithm of a unitary unimodular complex matrix?

The problem statement is the following: $$U=\exp\{iV\}$$ where $U$ is a unitary unimodular matrix of the following form: $$U=\begin{bmatrix}u_1+iu_2&u_3+iu_4\\-u_3+iu_4&u_1-iu_2\end{bmatrix}...

Argument principle for matrices

Let $f,g$ be entire functions, then the argument principle teaches us that $$\frac{1}{2\pi i}\int_{\mathbb{C}} g(z) \frac{f'(z)}{f(z)} dz$$ is equal to $g$ evaluated at the zeros of $f.$ Now, let ...

a sum of ratios of quadratic forms

I have the following function that I would like to optimize over the value A $$f(A)=\sum_k \frac{\mathbf{y}_k^H\left[\begin{array}{cc} 1&0\\ 0& A \end{array} \right]\mathbf{x}_k\mathbf{x}_k^H\...

Asymptotically multiplicative functions and matrices

Hi, Let $\mathbb{N}_{cop}^2$ denote the set of all pairs of coprime natural numbers. A function $f:\mathbb{C}\rightarrow\mathbb{C}$ is called asymptotically multiplicative, iff $\epsilon_{m,n}:=f(mn)...
