We prove that a continuous function $f:(0,\infty) \to (0,\infty)$ is operator monotone increasing if and only if $f(A \: !_t \: B) \leqs f(A) \: !_t \: f(B)$ for any positive operators $A,B$ and scalar $t \in [0,1]$. Here, $!_t$ denotes the…

We study functions of bounded variation (and sets of finite perimeter) on a convex open set $\Omega\subseteq X$, $X$ being an infinite dimensional real Hilbert space. We relate the total variation of such functions, defined through an…

We present a characterization of operator log-convex functions by using positive linear mappings. Moreover, we study the non-commutative f-divergence functional of operator log-convex functions. In particular, we prove that f is operator…

In this paper, we give two explicit examples of unbounded linear maximal monotone operators. The first unbounded linear maximal monotone operator $S$ on $\ell^{2}$ is skew. We show its domain is a proper subset of the domain of its adjoint…

New perspectives, proofs, and some extensions of known results are presented concerning the behavior of the Fitzpatrick function of a monotone type operator in the general context of a locally convex space.

Let $f$ be a function on ${\Bbb R}^2$ in the inhomogeneous Besov space $B_{\infty,1}^1({\Bbb R}^2)$. For a pair $(A,B)$ of not necessarily bounded and not necessarily commuting self-adjoint operators, we define the function $f(A,B)$ of $A$…

In this article, we first study, in the framework of operator theory, Pusz and Woronowicz's functional calculus for pairs of bounded positive operators on Hilbert spaces associated with a homogeneous two-variable function on $[0,\infty)^2$.…

In this article, we show that if $A$ is a maximal monotone operator on a Hilbert space $H$ with $0$ in the range $\textrm{Rg}(A)$ of $A$, then for every $0<s<1$, the Dirichlet problem associated with the Bessel-type equation $$…

In this article, we present a new subadditivity behavior of convex and concave functions, when applied to Hilbert space operators. For example, under suitable assumptions on the spectrum of the positive operators $A$ and $B$, we prove that…

Operator convex functions defined on the positive half-line play a prominent role in the theory of quantum information, where they are used to define quantum $f$-divergences. Such functions admit integral representations in terms of…

For a pair $(A,B)$ of not necessarily bounded and not necessarily commuting self-adjoint operators and for a function $f$ on the Euclidean space ${\Bbb R}^2$ that belongs to the inhomogeneous Besov class $B_{\infty,1}^1({\Bbb R}^2)$, we…

In this paper, we obtain a new class of functions, which is developed via the Hermite--Hadamard inequality for convex functions. The well-known one-one correspondence between the class of operator monotone functions and operator connections…

We describe continuity properties of the multivalued inverse of the numerical range map $f_A:x \mapsto \left\langle Ax, x \right\rangle$ associated with a linear operator $A$ defined on a complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$. We prove in…

Given a contraction A on a Hilbert space H, an operator T on H is said to be A-invariant if <Tx,x>=<TAx,Ax> for every x in H such that ||Ax||=||x||. In the special case in which both defect indices of A are equal to 1, we show that every…

Let $T$ be a bounded linear operator on a Hilbert space $H$ such that \[ \alpha[T^*,T]:=\sum_{n=0}^\infty \alpha_n T^{*n}T^n\ge 0. \] where $\alpha(t)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty \alpha_n t^n$ is a suitable analytic function in the unit disc…

Operator monotone functions, introduced by Lowner in 1934, are an important class of real-valued functions. They arise naturally in matrix and operator theory and have various applications in other branches of mathematics and related…

The variance of a bounded linear operator $a$ on a Hilbert space $H$ at a unit vector $h$ is defined by $D_h(a)=\|ah\|^2-|<ah,h>|^2$. We show that two operators $a$ and $b$ have the same variance at all vectors $h\in H$ if and only if there…

New upper and lower bounds for the numerical radii of Hilbert space operators are given. Among our results, we prove that if $A\in \mathcal{B} \left( \mathcal{H}\right) $ is a hyponormal operator, then for all non-negative non-decreasing…

In this work, an operator superquadratic function (in operator sense) for positive Hilbert space operators is defined. Several examples with some important properties together with some observations which are related to the operator…

Let $A$ be an unbounded operator on a Banach space $X$. It is sometimes useful to improve the operator $A$ by extending it to an operator $B$ on a larger Banach space $Y$ with smaller spectrum. It would be preferable to do this with some…
