Let f be a non-negative concave function on the positive half-line. Let A and B be two positive matrices. Then, for all symmetric norms, || f(A+B) || is less than || f(A)+f(B) ||. When f is operator concave, this was proved by Ando and…

For positive semidefinite $n\times n$ matrices $A$ and $B$, the singular value inequality $(2+t)s_{j}(A^{r}B^{2-r}+A^{2-r}B^{r})\leq 2s_{j}(A^{2}+tAB+B^{2})$ is shown to hold for $r=\frac{1}{2}, 1, \frac{3}{2}$ and all $-2<t\leq 2$.

Let $A,\;B$ be the positive semidefinite matrices. A matrix version of the famous Powers-St{\o}rmer's inequality $$2Tr(A^\alpha B^{1-\alpha})\geq Tr(A+B-|A-B|),\;\;\;0\leq\alpha\leq 1,$$ was proven by Audenaert et. al. We establish a…
