A Convexity Question in Matrix Analysis (Open)
Summary: The reader is asked to prove that for a real matrix $B$ with maximal rank $m \le n$, in the orthant where each $\lambda_i$ is positive, the scalar-valued function ${\cal C}(\lambda_1, \ldots, \lambda_n) = Tr((B^{\ast}\diag(\lambda_1, \ldots, \lambda_n) B)^{-2})$ is convex.
