Let $f$ be a function defined on the set ${\mathbf M}^{2\times 2}$ of all $2$ by $2$ matrices that is invariant with respect to left and right multiplications of its argument by proper orthogonal matrices. The function $f$ can be represented as a function $\tilde{f}$ of the signed singular values of its matrix argument. The paper expresses the ordinary convexity, polyconvexity, and rank 1 convexity of $f$ in terms of its representation $\tilde{f}.$
Making use of a modified Hadamard product, or convolution, of analytic functions with negative coefficients, combined with an integral operator, we study when a given analytic function is in a given class. Following an idea of U. Bednarz and J. Sokó l, we define the order of convolution consistence of three classes of functions and determine a given analytic function for certain classes of analytic functions with negative coefficients.
