Two trace inequalities for operator functions

Functional Analysis 2019-04-04 v1 Operator Algebras

Abstract

In this paper we show that for a non-negative operator monotone function ff on [0,)[0, \infty) such that f(0)=0f(0)= 0 and for any positive semidefinite matrices AA and BB, Tr((AB)(f(A)f(B)))Tr(ABf(AB)). Tr((A-B)(f(A)-f(B))) \le Tr(|A-B|f(|A-B|)). When the function ff is operator convex on [0,)[0, \infty), the inequality is reversed.
