Operator log-convex functions and operator means

Abstract

We study operator log-convex functions on $(0,\infty )$, and prove that a continuous nonnegative function on $(0,\infty )$ is operator log-convex if and only if it is operator monotone decreasing. Several equivalent conditions related to operator means are given for such functions. Operator log-concave functions are also discussed.
