Let $\mu_p(A,B,t)=(tA^p+(1-t)B^p)^{1/p}$ denote the weighted power mean between positive operators $A$ and $B$. We show that the function $t\to \|A-\mu_p(A,B,t)\|_2$ is monotonically decreasing whenever $1/2 \leq p \leq 1$. Hence showing…

We present some results on the monotonicity of some traces involving functions of self-adjoint operators with respect to the natural ordering of their associated quadratic forms. We also apply these results to complete a proof of the Wegner…
Real and complex norms of a linear operator acting on a normed complexified space are considered. Bounds on the ratio of these norms are given. The real and complex norms are shown to coincide for four classes of operators: 1) real linear…

In this article we prove that if the $q-$fractional operator $(~_{q}\nabla_{qa}^\alpha y)(t)$ of order $0<\alpha\leq 1$ , $0<q<1$ and starting at some $qa \in T_q=\{q^k: k \in \mathbb{Z}\}\cup \{0\},~~a>0$ is positive such that $y(a) \geq…

We generalize Loewner's method for proving that matrix monotone functions are operator monotone. The relation x \leq y on bounded operators is our model for a definition for C*-relations of being residually finite dimensional. Our main…

We study some natural operators acting on configurations of points and lines in the plane and remark that many interesting configurations are fixed points for these operators. We review ancient and recent results on line or point…
We give some necessary and some sufficient conditions for the complete monotonicity on the negative half-line of a Mittag-Leffler function of Le Roy type. It is conjectured that the underlying positive random variable, when it exists, must…
The most important open problem in Monotone Operator Theory concerns the maximal monotonicity of the sum of two maximally monotone operators provided that the classical Rockafellar's constraint qualification holds, which is called the "sum…
We describe some monotone properties of solutions to second order linear difference equations with real constant coefficients. As an application, we give a characterization of the Fibonacci numbers.
The main focus of this paper is to study multi-valued linear monotone operators in the contexts of locally convex spaces via the use of their Fitzpatrick and Penot functions. Notions such as maximal monotonicity, uniqueness,…
Resolvent compositions were recently introduced as monotonicity-preserving operations that combine a set-valued monotone operator and a bounded linear operator. They generalize in particular the notion of a resolvent average. We analyze the…
The paper is devoted to the problem of exact calculation of the norms in ideal spaces for monotone operators on the cones of functions with monotonicity properties. We implement a general approach to this problem that covers many concrete…
We show rigidity results for the operator equations T(f.g) = Tf.Tg, T(f*g) = Tf.Tg and T(f.g) = Tf*Tg for bijective operators T acting on sufficently large spaces of smooth functions. Typically a condition like |T(f.g) - Tf.Tg| < a for all…
In this article we study the Heinz and Hermite-Hadamard inequalities. We derive the whole series of refinements of these inequalities involving unitarily invariant norms, which improve some recent results, known from the literature. We also…
The new notion of operator/matrix $k$-tone functions is introduced, which is a higher order extension of operator/matrix monotone and convex functions. Differential properties of matrix $k$-tone functions are shown. Characterizations,…
In this expository article, we discuss various monotonicity formulas for parabolic and elliptic operators and explain how the analysis of the function spaces and the geometry of the underlining spaces are intertwined. After briefly…
