prove $rhoin Kto ||sqrt{rho}'||_{L^2}^2$ is convex, where $K$ is a convex cone












0












$begingroup$


$$K = {rhoin H^1(0,1);rho ge 0,sqrt{rho}in H^1(0,1)}$$



I have proved that $K$ is a convex cone. Now I'm asked to prove that $rhoin Kto ||sqrt{rho}'||_{L^2}^2$ is convex.



I tried several ways to compute, but I can only get
$$||sqrt{tu+(1-t)v}'||_{L^2}^2 le 2t||sqrt{u}'||_{L^2}^2 + 2(1-t)||sqrt{v}'||_{L^2}^2 text{ or }le sqrt{t}||sqrt{u}'||_{L^2}^2 + sqrt{1-t}||sqrt{v}'||_{L^2}^2$$
So any ideas how to get convexity?

            Which last step? The convexity of $(a,b) mapsto a^2/b$? Just compute its Hessian.
