Norm equalities and inequalities for operator matrices

Several norm equalities and inequalities for operator matrices are proved in this paper. These results, which depend on the structure of circulant and skew circulant operator matrices, include pinching type inequalities for weakly unitarily invariant norms.     

Non-commutative operator Bohr inequality

It is shown that if A, B, X are Hilbert space operators such that X?γI, for the positive real number γ, and p,q>1 with 1/p+1/q=1, then |A−B|²?p|A|²+q|B|² with equality if and only if (1−p)A=B and γ||||A−B|²|||?|||p|A|²X+qX|B|²||| for every unitarily invariant norm. Moreover, if in addition A, B are normal and X is any Hilbert-Schmidt operator, then ‖δ_A,B²(X)‖₂?‖p|A|²X+qX|B|²‖₂ with equality if and only if (1−p)AX=XB.     

Improved Young and Heinz inequalities for matrices

We give refinements of the classical Young inequality for positive real numbers and we use these refinements to establish improved Young and Heinz inequalities for matrices.     

Norm equalities and inequalities for three circulant operator matrices

In this paper, three new circulant operator matrices, scaled circulant operator matrices, diag-circulant operator matrices and retrocirculant operator matrices, are given respectively. Several norm equalities and inequalities for these operator matrices are proved. We show the special cases for norm equalities and inequalities, such as the usual operator norm and the Schatten p-norm. Pinching type inequality is also given for weakly unitarily invariant norms. These results are closely related to the nice structure of these special operator matrices. Furthermore, some special cases and specific examples are also considered.     

Norm inequalities for matrix geometric means of positive definite matrices

We obtain eigenvalue inequalities for matrix geometric means of positive definite matrices. This implies matrix norm inequalities for unitarily invariant norms, which are considered as complementary to a series of norm inequalities among geometric means. We give complements of the Ando–Hiai type inequality for the Karcher mean by means of the generalized Kantorovich constant. Finally, we consider the monotonicity of the eigenvalue function for the Karcher mean.

Normal operators and inequalities in norm ideals

In this work we characterize normal invertible operators via inequalities with unitarily invariant norm of elementary operators.     

Norm inequalities for commutators of positive operators and applications

Let X, Y, and Z be operators on a Hilbert space such that X and Z are positive. It is shown that

Hyperreflexivity and operator ideals

Suppose (B,β) is an operator ideal, and A is a linear space of operators between Banach spaces X and Y. Modifying the classical notion of hyperreflexivity, we say that A is called B-hyperreflexive if there exists a constant C such that, for any T∈B(X,Y) with α=supβ(qTi)<∞ (the supremum runs over all isometric embeddings i into X, and all quotient maps of Y, satisfying qAi=0), there exists a∈A, for which β(T−a)?Cα. In this paper, we give examples of B-hyperreflexive spaces, as well as of spaces failing this property. In the last section, we apply SE-hyperreflexivity of operator algebras (SE is a regular symmetrically normed operator ideal) to constructing operator spaces with prescribed families of completely bounded maps.     

Operator-norm inequalities and interpolated trace inequalities

In this article, we investigate some operator-norm inequalities related to some conjectures posed by Hayajneh and Kittaneh that are related to questions of Bourin regarding a special type of inequalities referred to as subadditivity inequalities. While some inequalities are meant to answer these conjectures, other inequalities present reverse-type inequalities for these conjectures. Then, we present some new trace inequalities related to Heinz means inequality and use these inequalities to prove some variants of the aforementioned conjectures.     

Refined Heinz operator inequalities

Motivated by the well-known Heinz norm inequalities, in this article we study the corresponding Heinz operator inequalities. We derive the whole series of refinements of these operator inequalities, first with the help of the well-known Hermite–Hadamard inequality, and then, utilizing the parametrized family of the so-called Heron means. In such a way, we obtain improvements of some recent results, known from the literature.     

Interpolated Young and Heinz inequalities

In this article, we interpolate the well-known Young’s inequality for numbers and matrices, when equipped with the Hilbert–Schmidt norm, then present the corresponding interpolations of recent refinements in the literature. As an application of these interpolated versions, we study the monotonicity these interpolations obey.     

New sharp inequalities for operator means

New sharp multiplicative reverses of the operator means inequalities are presented, with a simple discussion of squaring an operator inequality. As a direct consequence, we extend the operator Pólya-Szegö inequality to arbitrary operator means. Furthermore, we obtain some new lower and upper bounds for the Tsallis relative operator entropy, operator monotone functions and positive linear maps.     

Generalized Bebiano-Lemos-Providência inequalities and their reverses

Complementary inequalities to improved AM-GM inequality

Following an idea of Lin, we prove that if A and B are two positive operators such that 0 mI ≤ A ≤m'I≤ M'I ≤ B ≤ MI, then Φ~2(A+B/2)≤K~2(h)/(1+(logM'/m'/g))~2Φ~2(A≠B) and Φ~2(A+B/2)≤K~2(h)/(1+(logM'/m'/g))~2(Φ(A)≠Φ(B))~2 where K(h)=(h+1)~2/4 and h = M/m and Φ is a positive unital linear map.
