Mar 8, 2023 at 15:56 comment added Henrik Schumacher I see. Anyways, Mathematica does not know about this and refuses to minimize complex-valued functions. So wrapping it with Re might help anyways.

Added proof that $ \textrm{tr} \big(AX \big)$ is non-negative and real.
Mar 8, 2023 at 15:13 comment added mathematica_beginner @HenrikSchumacher I have edited my question to add a proof that $\textrm{tr} \big( AX\big)$ is real and non-negative if $A$ and $X$ are both positive-semidefinite.
Mar 8, 2023 at 14:31 comment added Henrik Schumacher You seem to attempt to minimize a complex-valued function. If $A$ and $X$ are complex-valued matrices, what does guarantee that $\mathrm{tr}(A X)$ is a real number? Maybe you meant to take Frobenius inner product? Then you have to apply Re.
