The main purpose of this paper is to englobe some new and known types of Hermitian block-matrices $M=\begin{pmatrix} A \& X\\ {X^*} \& B\end{pmatrix}$ satisfying or not the inequality $\|M\|\le \|A+B\|$ for all symmetric norms

For positive semi-definite block-matrix $M,$ we say that $M$ is P.S.D. and we write $M=\begin{pmatrix} A \& X\\ {X^*} \& B\end{pmatrix} \in {\mathbb{M}}\_{n+m}^+$, with $A\in {\mathbb{M}}\_n^+$, $B \in {\mathbb{M}}\_m^+.$ The focus is on…

Let $A$ be a positive semidefinite matrix, block partitioned as $$ A=\twomat{B}{C}{C^*}{D}, $$ where $B$ and $D$ are square blocks. We prove the following inequalities for the Schatten $q$-norm $||.||_q$, which are sharp when the blocks are…

Let $H$ be a positive semi-definite matrix partitioned in $\beta\times \beta$ Hermitian blocks, $H=[A_{s,t}]$, $1\le s,t,\le \beta$. Then, for all symmetric norms, {equation*} \| H \| \le \| \sum_{s=1}^{\beta} A_{s,s} \|. {equation*} The…

In this paper, we present some extensions of the Young and Heinz inequalities for the Hilbert-Schmidt norm as well as any unitarily invariant norm. Furthermore, we give some inequalities dealing with matrices. More precisely, for two…

For $k=1,\ldots,K$, let $A_k$ and $B_k$ be positive semidefinite matrices such that, for each $k$, $A_k$ commutes with $B_k$. We show that, for any unitarily invariant norm, \[ |||\sum_{k=1}^K A_kB_k||| \le ||| (\sum_{k=1}^K…

This paper derives an inequality relating the p-norm of a positive 2 x 2 block matrix to the p-norm of the 2 x 2 matrix obtained by replacing each block by its p-norm. The inequality had been known for integer values of p, so the main…

We study matrix inequalities involving partial traces for positive semidefinite block matrices. First of all, we present a new method to prove a celebrated result of Choi [Linear Algebra Appl. 516 (2017)]. Our method also allows us to prove…

Some subadditivity results involving symmetric (unitarily invariant) norms are obtained. For instance, if $g(t)=\sum_{k=0}^m a_kt^k$ is a polynomial of degree $m$ with non-negative coefficients, then, for all positive operators $A,\,B$ and…

Let H be a positive semidefinite matrix partitioned into Hermitian blocks. Then, up to a direct sum operation, H is the average of matrices isometrically congruent to its partial trace. A few corollaries are given, related to important…

Inequalities for norms of different versions of the geometric mean of two positive definite matrices are presented.

We prove some eigenvalue inequalities for positive semidefinite matrices partitioned into four blocks. The inradius of the numerical range of the off-diagonal block contributes to these estimates. Some related norm inequalities are given…

For any positive invertible matrix $A$ and any normal matrix $B$ in $M_{n}({\Bbb C})$, we investigate whether the inequality $ ||A\sharp (B^{*}A^{-1}B)||\geq ||B|| $ is true or not, where $\sharp$ denotes the geometric mean and $||\cdot||$…

We prove an analogous Hanner's Inequality of $L^p$ spaces for positive semidefinite matrices. Let $||X||_p=\text{Tr}[(X^\ast X)^{p/2}]^{1/p}$ denote the $p$-Schatten norm of a matrix $X\in M_{n\times n}(\mathbb{C})$. We show that the…

In this short paper, we give a complete and affirmative answer to a conjecture on matrix trace inequalities for the sum of positive semidefinite matrices. We also apply the obtained inequality to derive a kind of generalized Golden-Thompson…

We present some new inequalities related to determinant and trace for positive semidefinite block matrices by using symmetric tensor product, which are extensions of Fiedler-Markham's inequality and Thompson's inequality.

Let $A_i$ and $B_i$ be positive definite matrices for every $i=1,\cdots,m.$ Let $Z=[Z_{ij}]$ be the block matrix, where $Z_{ij}=B_i^{^\frac{1}{_2}}\left(\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^mA_k\right)B_j^{^\frac{1}{_2}}$ for every $ i,j=~1,\cdots,m$.…

Let $f(x)=x^TAx+2a^Tx+c$ and $h(x)=x^TBx+2b^Tx+d$ be two quadratic functions having symmetric matrices $A$ and $B$. The S-lemma with equality asks when the unsolvability of the system $f(x)<0, h(x)=0$ implies the existence of a real number…
