Operator monotone function
In linear algebra, the operator monotone function is an important type of real-valued function, first described by Charles Löwner in 1934.[1] It is closely allied to the operator concave and operator concave functions, and is encountered in operator theory and in matrix theory, and led to the .[2][3]
