3.20 Composition with an affine function. Show that the following functions f : R" –→ R are
convex.
(a) f(x) = || Ax – b||, where A E RmXn, b E R™, and || · || is a norm on Rm.
(b) f(x) = – (det(Ao + ¤1A1 + ...+xn An))'/m, on {x | Ao + x1A1+ · ·+ xn An > 0},
where Ai E S™.
(c) f(X)= tr (Ao + ¤1A1 + · .+ xnAn)¬, on {x | Ao+¤1A1+…+xnAn > 0}, where
Ai E Sm. (Use the fact that tr(X-') is convex on ST+; see exercise 3.18.)
