This correspondence appears as an integral representation of special operator monotone functions $x \\mapsto 1\\,!_t\\,x$ for $t \\in [0,1]$ with respect to a finite Borel measure on $[0,1]$, here $!_t$ denotes the $t$-weighted harmonic mean. Hence such functions form building blocks for arbitrary operator monotone functions on the nonnegative reals. Moreover, we use this integral representation to decompose operator monotone functions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-04-30T09:51:25.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "47A63", "28A25" ], "keywords": [ "integral representation", "nonnegative reals", "finite borel measure", "decompose operator monotone functions", "special operator monotone functions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1304.7936C" } } }
