Abstract

We show that if T=H+iKT=H+iK is the Cartesian decomposition of TB(H)T\in \mathbb{B(\mathscr{H})}, then for α,βR\alpha ,\beta \in \mathbb{R}, supα2+β2=1αH+βK=w(T)\sup_{\alpha ^{2}+\beta ^{2}=1}\Vert \alpha H+\beta K\Vert =w(T). We then apply it to prove that if A,B,XB(H)A,B,X\in \mathbb{B(\mathscr{H})} and 0mIX0\leq mI\leq X, then \begin{align*} m\Vert \mbox{Re}(A)-\mbox{Re}(B)\Vert & \leq w(\mbox{Re}(A)X-X\mbox{Re}(B)) \\ & \leq \frac{1}{2}\sup_{\theta \in \mathbb{R}}\left\Vert (AX-XB)+e^{i\theta }(XA-BX)\right\Vert \\ & \leq \frac{\Vert AX-XB\Vert +\Vert XA-BX\Vert }{2}, \end{align*} where \mboxRe(T)\mbox{Re}(T) denotes the real part of an operator TT. A refinement of the triangle inequality is also shown.
