Functional Analysis 2014-11-25 v1

Abstract

For k=1,,Kk=1,\ldots,K, let AkA_k and BkB_k be positive semidefinite matrices such that, for each kk, AkA_k commutes with BkB_k. We show that, for any unitarily invariant norm, k=1KAkBk(k=1KAk)  (k=1KBk). |||\sum_{k=1}^K A_kB_k||| \le ||| (\sum_{k=1}^K A_k)\;(\sum_{k=1}^K B_k)|||.
