We prove that if $f$ is a Lipschitz function on $\R$, $A$ and $B$ are self-adjoint operators such that ${\rm rank} (A-B)=1$, then $f(A)-f(B)$ belongs to the weak space $\boldsymbol{S}_{1,\be}$, i.e., $s_j(A-B)\le{\rm const} (1+j)^{-1}$. We…

In this paper, we determine the complex-valued solutions of the functional equation $$ f(x\sigma(y))+f(\tau(y)x)=2f(x)f(y)$$ for all $x,y \in M$, where $M$ is a monoid, $\sigma$: $M\longrightarrow M$ is an involutive automorphism and…

A synaptic algebra is a common generalization of several ordered algebraic structures based on algebras of self-adjoint operators, including the self-adjoint part of an AW*-algebra. In this paper we prove that a synaptic algebra A has the…

We introduce the notion of regular operator mappings of several variables generalising the notion of spectral function. This setting is convenient for studying maps more general than what can be obtained from the functional calculus, and it…

It is general knowledge that the harmonic mean $H(x,y)=\frac2{\frac1x+\frac1y}$ and that the geometric mean $G(x,y)=\sqrt{xy}\,$, where $x$ and $y$ are two positive numbers. In the paper, the authors show by several approaches that the…

Let $A,B\in B(H)$. We present among others a simple proof of the widely known result stating that if $0\leq A\leq B$, then $\sqrt A\leq \sqrt B$. The same idea is used to prove that if $0\leq A\leq B$ and $A$ is invertible, then $B$ too is…

We introduce completely monotonic functions of order $r>0$ and show that the remainders in asymptotic expansions of the logarithm of Barnes double gamma function and Euler's gamma function give rise to completely monotonic functions of any…

The purpose of this paper is to introduce the logarithmic mean of two convex functionals that extends the logarithmic mean of two positive operators. Some inequalities involving this functional mean are discussed as well. The operator…

We consider the operator $\sL$ defined on $C^2(\bR^d)$ functions by \sL f(x)&=&{1/2}\sum_{i,j=1}^d a_{ij}(x)\frac{\partial^2f(x)}{\partial x_i\partial x_j}+\sum_{i=1}^d b_i(x)\frac{\partial f(x)}{\partial x_i}…

In this work we study the relation between the set of symmetric operators and the set of mutually unbiased operators from finite plane geometry point of view. Here symmetric operators are generalization of symmetric informationally complete…

Let $A$ be a unital C*-algebra, $S$ be an operator $A$-system and $E$ be an operator space that is a left operator $A$-module. We introduce the symmetrisation of the pair $(E,S)$ as the Hausdorff completion of the balanced tensor product…

We argue that topological operators for continuous symmetries written in terms of currents need regularization, which effectively gives them a small but finite width. The regulated operator is a finite tension object which fluctuates. In…

We consider the difference $f(H_1)-f(H_0)$ for self-adjoint operators $H_0$ and $H_1$ acting in a Hilbert space. We establish a new class of estimates for the operator norm and the Schatten class norms of this difference. Our estimates…

Motivated by a geometric meaning of Mahler's measure, we introduce two operator analogues of Mahler's measure. This leads to some interesting equalities and inequalities between the two operator-theoretic Mahler measures and the classical…

In this expository and survey paper, along one of main lines of bounding the ratio of two gamma functions, we look back and analyse some inequalities, the complete monotonicity of several functions involving ratios of two gamma or $q$-gamma…

In this paper we obtain asymptotic expansion for the geometric mean of the values of positive strongly multiplicative function $f$ satisfying $f(p)=\alpha(d)\,p^d+O(p^{d-\delta})$ for any prime $p$ with $d$ real and $\alpha(d),\delta>0$.

In this paper, we study some properties such as the monotonicity, logarithmically complete monotonicity, logarithmic convexity, and geometric convexity, of the combinations of gamma function and power function. The results we obtain…

Given a function $f: (a,b) \rightarrow \mathbb{R},$ L\"owner's theorem states $f$ is monotone when extended to self-adjoint matrices via the functional calculus, if and only if $f$ extends to a self-map of the complex upper half plane. In…

Given complex numbers $a, b, c$ and a non-negative continuous function $\varphi$ defined on $[0, +\infty)$, consider the $2 \times 2$ matrix $$ M_t = \begin{pmatrix} a & t \\ ct & b\varphi(t) \end{pmatrix}, \quad t \in [0, +\infty). $$ We…

In a recent paper (2024) Camacho, C\'{a}novas, Mart\'{\i}nez-Legaz and Parra introduced bimonotone operators, i.e., operators $T$ such that both $T$ and $-T$ are monotone, and found some interesting applications to convex feasibility…
