Which function is represented in this contour plot?

51 Views Asked by At

This is a kind of unusual question, but I am pretty sure the function in this contour plot has an analytic form. I just don't remember what it was.

I found it in Stephen Boyd & Lieven Vandenberghes book (figure 3.2 page 113), but there seems no formula given.

Does anybody know what function this is? I would also help to know the formula for a function similar to this.
