In this paper we show that for a non-negative operator monotone function $f$ on $[0, \infty)$ such that $f(0)= 0$ and for any positive semidefinite matrices $A$ and $B$, $$ Tr((A-B)(f(A)-f(B))) \le Tr(|A-B|f(|A-B|)). $$ When the function…

As it is shown in previous works, discrete periodic operators with defects are unitarily equivalent to the operators of the form $$ {\mathcal A}{\bf u}={\bf A}_0{\bf u}+{\bf A}_1\int_0^1dk_1{\bf B}_1{\bf u}+...+{\bf…

Yuan and Leng (2007) gave a generalization of Ky Fan's determinantal inequality, which is a celebrated refinement of the fundamental Brunn-Minkowski inequality $(\det (A+B))^{1/n} \ge (\det A)^{1/n} +(\det B)^{1/n}$, where $A$ and $B$ are…

We obtain tight lower bounds for the trace norm $\Vert \cdot \Vert_1$ of some matrices with diagonal zero, in terms of the entry-wise $L^1$-norm (denoted by $\Vert \cdot \Vert_{(1)}$). It is shown that on the space of nonzero real symmetric…

We give partial answers to the following question: if $F$ is an $m$ by $m$ matrix on $\mathbb{R}^n$ satisfying a second order linear elliptic equation, does $\det F$ satisfy the strong unique continuation property? We give counterexamples…
