We refine Epstein's method to prove joint concavity/convexity of matrix trace functions of Lieb type $\mathrm{Tr}f(\mathrm{\Phi }{(A^p)}^{1/2}\mathrm{\Psi }(B^q)\mathrm{\Phi }{(A^p)}^{1/2})$ and symmetric (anti-) norm functions of the form $\Vert f(\mathrm{\Phi }(A^p)\sigma \mathrm{\Psi }(B^q))\Vert$, where Φ and Ψ are positive linear maps, σ   is an operator mean, and 94ab21aca66db9e" title="Click to view the MathML source">f(x^γ)$f(x^{\gamma })$ with a certain power γ   is an operator monotone function on (0,∞)$(0,\infty )$. Moreover, the variational method of Carlen, Frank and Lieb is extended to general non-decreasing convex/concave functions on (0,∞)$(0,\infty )$ so that we prove joint concavity/convexity of more trace functions of Lieb type.
