In this paper, we prove a trace inequality $\text{Tr}[ f(A) A^s B^s ] \leq \text{Tr}[ f(A) (A^{1/2} B A^{1/2} )^s ]$ for any positive and monotone increasing function $f$, $s\in[0,1]$, and positive semi-definite matrices $A$ and $B$. On the…
An inequality, which combines the concept of completely monotone functions with the theory of divided differences, is proposed. It is a straightforward generalization of a result, recently introduced by two of the present authors.
New iterative methods for solving linear equations are presented that are easy to use, generalize good existing methods, and appear to be faster. The new algorithms mix two kinds of linear recurrence formulas. Older methods have either high…
We present some operator inequalities for positive linear maps that generalize and improve the derived results in some recent years. For instant, if $A$ and $B$ are positive operators and $m,m^{'},M,M^{'}$ are positive real numbers…
We consider various inequalities for polynomials, with an emphasis on the most fundamental inequalities of approximation theory. In the sequel a key role is played by the generalized Minkowski functional \alpha(K,x), already being used by…
A linear functional of an object from a convex symmetric set can be optimally estimated, in a worst-case sense, by a linear functional of observations made on the object. This well-known fact is extended here to a nonlinear setting: other…
Jensen inequalities for positive linear maps of Choi and Hansen-Pedersen type are established for a large class of operator/matrix means. These results are also extensions of the Minkowski determinantal inequality. To this end we develop…
For positive semidefinite matrices $A$ and $B$, Ando and Zhan proved the inequalities $||| f(A)+f(B) ||| \ge ||| f(A+B) |||$ and $||| g(A)+g(B) ||| \le ||| g(A+B) |||$, for any unitarily invariant norm, and for any non-negative operator…
Convexity is an important notion in non linear optimization theory as well as in infinite dimensional functional analysis. As will be seen below, very simple and powerful tools will be derived from elementary duality arguments (which are…
In this paper we introduce a new technique for proving norm inequalities in operator ideals with an unitarily invariant norm. Among the well known inequalities which can be proved with this technique are the L\"owner-Heinz inequality,…
We continue the analysis in [3] of matrix convex functions of a fixed order defined in a real interval by differential methods as opposed to the characterization in terms of divided differences given by Kraus [5]. We amend and improve some…
Normals with unknown parameters (NUP) can be used to convert nontrivial model-based estimation problems into iterations of linear least-squares or Gaussian estimation problems. In this paper, we extend this approach by augmenting factor…
We study multivariate entire functions and polynomials with non-negative coefficients. A class of {\bf Strongly Log-Concave} entire functions, generalizing {\it Minkowski} volume polynomials, is introduced: an entire function $f$ in $m$…
In this paper, we will show a new characterization of operator monotone functions by a matrix reverse Cauchy inequality.
The main purpose of this paper is, in the general setting of the adjointable operators on Hilbert $C^*$-modules, to develop two new tools that can be applied to deal with the positive solutions of certain operator equations, the operator…
In this paper we give refinements of some convex and log-convex moment inequalities of the first and second order using a special kind of positive semi-definite form. An open problem concerning eight parameter refinement of second order is…
This paper has two clear motivations: a technical and a practical. The technical motivation unifies in a single and crystal clear formulation a huge family of inequalities that have been produced separately in the last 90 years in different…
It is known that the function $f(e^x)/g(e^x)$ is positive definite for some functions $f,g$ implies the operator norm inequality related to $f,g$. We treat functions which have the following form: $f(t) = t^{(1-\sum_{i=1}^n…
Inequalities for norms of different versions of the geometric mean of two positive definite matrices are presented.
In this article, we present several inequalities treating operator means and the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality. In particular, we present some new comparisons between operator Heron and Heinz means, several generalizations of the difference…
