Abstract

We give elementary proofs of the fact that the Loewner matrices [f(pi)-f(pj)/pi-pj]corresponding to the function f(t) = t r on (0, ∞ ) are positive semidefinite, conditionally negative definite, and conditionally positive definite, for r in [0, 1], [1, 2], and [2, 3], respectively. We show that in contrast to the interval (0, ∞ ) the Loewner matrices corresponding to an operator convex function on (-1, 1) need not be conditionally negative definite.
