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…

This is a conitunation of [1] and [2]. We prove that if function $f$ belongs to the class $\Lambda_{\omega} \overset{\text{def}}{=} \{f: \omega_{f}(\delta)\leq \text{const} \omega(\delta)\} $ for an arbitrary modulus of continuity $\omega$,…

We study bounds for the backward shift operator $f \mapsto (f(z)-f(0))/z$ and the related operator $f \mapsto f - f(0)$ on Hardy and Bergman spaces of analytic and harmonic functions. If $u$ is a real valued harmonic function, we also find…

Let $\sigma$ be an operator mean in the sense of Kubo and Ando. If the representation function $f$ of $\sigma$ satisfies $f_\sigma (t)^p\le f_\sigma(t^p) \text{ for all } p>1,$ then the operator mean is called a pmi mean. Our main interest…

We propose a notion of operator monotonicity for functions of several variables, which extends the well known notion of operator monotonicity for functions of only one variable. The notion is chosen such that a fundamental relationship…

A convex function $f:[a,b]\to\mathbb{R}$ satisfies the so-called Hermite-Hadamard inequality $$ f\left(\frac{a+b}{2}\right)\leq \frac{1}{b-a}\int_a^{b}f(t)dt\leq \frac{f(a)+f(b)}{2}. $$ Motivated by the above estimates, in this paper we…

We mainly establish a monotonicity property between some special Riemann sums of a convex function $f$ on $[a,b]$, which in particular yields that $\frac{b-a}{n+1}\sum_{i=0}^n f\left(a+i\frac{b-a}{n}\right)$ is decreasing while…
