Abstract
In this paper, we establish convexity of some functions associated with symmetric cones, called SC trace functions. As illustrated in the paper, these functions play a key role in the development of penalty and barrier function methods for symmetric cone programs. With trace function method we offer much simpler proofs to these useful inequalities.
