We present a characterization of operator log-convex functions by using positive linear mappings. Moreover, we study the non-commutative f-divergence functional of operator log-convex functions. In particular, we prove that f is operator…

We give simple new proofs of two well-known results for the Schr\"odinger operator: first, the Brunn--Minkowski inequality for Dirichlet eigenvalues and, second, the log-concavity of the first Dirichlet eigenfunction. Our proof of the first…

Let $\mathscr{H}$ be a complex Hilbert space and $A,B\in \mathbb{B}(\mathscr{H})$ such that $0<A,B\leq\frac{1}{2}I$. Setting $A':=I-A$ and $B':=I-B$, we prove $$ A'\nabla_\lambda B'-A'!_\lambda B' \leq A\nabla_\lambda B-A!_\lambda B, $$…

In this paper, we give the Alzer inequality for Hilbert space operators as follows: Let $A, B$ be two selfadjoint operators on a Hilbert space $\mathcal H$ such that $0 < A, B \le \frac{1}{2}I$, where $I$ is identity operator on $\mathcal…

The Baillon-Haddad theorem establishes that the gradient of a convex and continuously differentiable function defined in a Hilbert space is $\beta$-Lipschitz if and only if it is $1/\beta$-cocoercive. In this paper, we extend this theorem…

To each real continuous function f there is an associated trace function on real symmetric matrices Tr f. The classical Klein lemma states that f is convex if and only if Tr f is convex. In this note we present an algebraic strengthening of…

Supplying the missing necessary conditions, we complete the characterisation of the $L^p\to L^q$ boundedness of commutators $[b,T]$ of pointwise multiplication and Calder\'on-Zygmund operators, for arbitrary pairs of $1<p,q<\infty$ and…

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…

We define functions of noncommuting self-adjoint operators with the help of double operator integrals. We are studying the problem to find conditions on a function $f$ on ${\Bbb R}^2$, for which the map $(A,B)\mapsto f(A,B)$ is Lipschitz in…

It is well known that increasing functions do not preserve operator order in general; nor do decreasing functions reverse operator order. However, operator monotone increasing or operator monotone decreasing do. In this article, we employ a…

We prove that for certain classes of pseudoconvex domains of finite type, the Bergman-Toeplitz operator $T_{\psi}$ with symbol $\psi=K^{-\alpha}$ maps from $L^{p}$ to $L^{q}$ continuously with $1< p\le q<\infty$ if and only if…

The aim of this paper is to develop an approach to obtain self-adjoint extensions of symmetric operators acting on anti-dual pairs. The main advantage of such a result is that it can be applied for structures not carrying a Hilbert space…

Given a contraction A on a Hilbert space H, an operator T on H is said to be A-invariant if <Tx,x>=<TAx,Ax> for every x in H such that ||Ax||=||x||. In the special case in which both defect indices of A are equal to 1, we show that every…
