Let $\mathbb{P}$ be the complete metric space consisting of positive invertible operators on an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space with the Thompson metric. We introduce the notion of operator means of probability measures on $\mathbb{P}$,…

In this paper we present some characterizations for quasi-arithmetic operator means (among them the arithmetic and harmonic means) on the positive definite cone of the full algebra of Hilbert space operators, and also for the Kubo-Ando…
The seminal work of Kubo and Ando from 1980 provided us with an axiomatic approach to means of positive operators. As most of their axioms are algebraic in nature, this approach has a clear algebraic flavor. On the other hand, it is highly…
Positive operator measures (with values in the space of bounded operators on a Hilbert space) and their generalizations, mainly positive sesquilinear form measures, are considered with the aim of providing a framework for their generalized…
In this paper we consider power means of positive Hilbert space operators both in the conventional and in the Kubo-Ando senses. We describe the corresponding isomorphisms (bijective transformations respecting those means as binary…
In this paper we study the problem of extending means to means of higher order. We show how higher order means can be inductively defined and established in general metric spaces, in particular, in convex metric spaces. As a particular…
In the 1980s, Kubo and Ando introduced operator means on $\mathbb{P}$, the open convex cone of positive definite operators. One significant example is the weighted geometric mean $$ A \sharp_{t} B = A^{1/2} (A^{-1/2} B A^{-1/2})^{t}…

Let $\mu$ be a positive Borel measure on the interval [0,1). For $\alpha>0$, the Hankel matrix $\mathcal{H}_{\mu,\alpha}=(\mu_{n,k,\alpha})_{n,k\geq 0}$ with entries…
Given a positive operator-valued measure $\nu$ acting on the Borel sets of a locally compact Hausdorff space $X$, with outcomes in the algebra $\mathcal B(\mathcal H)$ of all bounded operators on a (possibly infinite-dimensional) Hilbert…
In this paper the authors seek to trace in an accessible fashion the rapid recent development of the theory of the matrix geometric mean in the cone of positive definite matrices up through the closely related operator geometric mean in the…
In this paper we introduce and study a new kind of generalized Hilbert matrix operators, induced by a positive finite Borel measure on (0,1), acting on weighted sequence spaces. We establish a sufficient and necessary condition for the…
Recently, P\'{a}lfia introduced a generalized Karcher mean as a solution of an operator equation. In this article, we present several relations for this new mean. In particular, we investigate the behavior of this generalized mean when…
In this paper we introduce and study a new sequence of positive linear operators acting on function spaces defined on a convex compact subset. Their construction depends on a given Markov operator, a positive real number and a sequence of…
The Kubo-Ando theory deals with connections for positive bounded operators. On the other hand, in various analysis related to von Neumann algebras it is impossible to avoid unbounded operators. In this article we try to extend a notion of…

Sturm's strong law of large numbers in $\mathrm{CAT}(0)$ spaces has been an influential tool to study the geometric mean or also called Karcher barycenter of positive definite matrices. It provides an easily computable stochastic…
A common optimization problem is the minimization of a symmetric positive definite quadratic form $< x,Tx >$ under linear constrains. The solution to this problem may be given using the Moore-Penrose inverse matrix. In this work we extend…
