1. Introduction
Let
be the Banach algebra of all bounded linear operators defined on a complex Hilbert space
with the identity operator
in
. For a bounded linear operator
on a Hilbert space
, The numerical range
of a bounded operator
is defined by
Also, the numerical radius is defined to be
We recall that the usual operator norm of an operator
is defined to be
It’s well known that the numerical radius
defines an operator norm on
which is equivalent to the operator norm
. Moreover, we have
for any
.
In 2003, Kittaneh [
1] provided a refinement of the right-hand side of (
1), by obtaining that
for any
.
Two years after that, Kittaneh [
2] proved his celebrated two-sided inequality
for any
. These inequalities are sharp.
In [
3], Dragomir established an upper bound for the numerical radius of the product of two Hilbert space operators, as follows:
In his recent work [
4], Alomari provided a generalized refinement of the right-hand side of (
3) and the recent result of Kittaneh and Moradi [
5], as follow:
for any operator
,
, and
. In particular, it was shown that
In the same work [
4], a refinement of (
4) was proved, as follows:
In particular, it was shown that
In [
6], Sababheh and Moradi presented some new numerical radius inequalities. Among others, the well-known Hermite–Hadamard inequality was used to perform the following result.
for every
, and increasing operator convex function
.
On the other hand, Moradi and Sababheh In [
7], proved the following refinement of (
9).
for all increasing convex function
. In particular, they proved
The constant is the best possible.
For more generalizations, counterparts, and recent related results, the reader may refer to [13–41].
In this work, new refinements of the previously mentioned inequalities are proved. Namely, new improvement and refinements that purifies the inequalities (
4)–(
11) are established. The proven inequalities in this work are not only an improvement over the previous inequalities, but rather they are stronger than them. We presented examples that prove the validity of our words.
2. Refinements of the Numerical Radius Inequalities
Lemma 1.
[10, Theorem 1.4] Let , then
for any vector . The inequality (12) is reversed if .
Lemma 2.
for any vectors , where .
The following lemma is an operator version of the classical Jensen inequality.
Lemma 3. ([
10], Theorem 1.2)
Let be a selfadjoint operator in Let . Then, whose spectrum for some scalars , and let be a unit vector. If is a convex function on , then
We are in a position to state our main first result.
Theorem 1.
Let . If is an increasing and convex, then
Proof. Since
is increasing and operator convex, then by Jensen’s inequality we have
Taking the supremum over all unit vector in all previous inequalities we get the required result. □
Corollary 1.
Let . If is an increasing and convex, then
The constant is the best possible.
Proof. Consider
,
in (
15) the we get the desired result. The particular case in (
16) follows directly by setting
. To prove the sharpness of (
16), assume that (
16) holds with another constant
, i.e.,
Assume
is a normal operator and employ the fact that for normal operators we have
, then by (
17), we deduce that
, and this shows that the constant
is the best possible and thus the inequality is sharp. □
A non-trivial refinement of (
15) is considered in the following result.
Theorem 2.
Let . If is increasing and operator convex, then
Proof. Since
is increasing and operator convex, then by Jensen’s inequality we have
Taking the supremum over all unit vector in all previous inequalities we get the required result. □
Corollary 2.
for all .
Proof. The result follows by applying the increasing operator function , . □
Example 1.
Let . It is easy to observe that . Applying the inequalities in (20), we get
As we can see the first inequality turns to an equality for this example; that gives the exact value of the numerical radius. Moreover, the second inequality improves Sabaheh-Mordai inequality (11). Roughly, we have
and this show that our first two inequalities are much better than (11). Practically and more preciously, the first two inequalities in (20) are stronger than the lower bound in (3), and the inequalities in (9), (10), and (11).
Theorem 3.
Let . If is an increasing and operator convex, then
Proof. Let
be a unit vector. Then by Cauchy–Schwarz inequality we have
The rest of the proof goes similar to that one given for the proof of Theorem 1; by replacing and by and , respectively; we get the required result. □
We finish this work by introducing some refined improvements of numerical radius inequalities. Among others, Sababheh–Moradi in [
6] and [
7], presented some new general forms of numerical radius inequalities for Hilbert space operators. In fact, Sababheh and Moradi used the classical Hermite–Hadamard inequality and its operator version to prove their results. Our approach is based on refining and extending these inequalities in the lighting of Alomari refinement extension of the Hermite–Hadamard inequality [
16].
Theorem 4.
Let be a positive unital linear map and let . If is an increasing and convex function, then
for any Unit vector .
Proof. In [
9], Alomari proved the following refinement of the classical Hermite–Hadamard inequality
for every convex function
. Moreover, since
g is convex, then we may rewrite (
23), as follows
Let
be the Cartesian decomposition of
. Therefore, we have
and
Replacing
a and
b by
and
in (
24), for
such that
, in (4) we obtain
But since
is convex and
is a positive unital linear map, then the last two inequalities could be refined respectively as follows:
and
Combining the above two inequalities together we obtain
Now, since
is increasing then we have
Taking the supremum over all unit vector in all previous inequalities we get the required result. □
The following example ensures that the inequalities in (
22) refine Sababheh–Moradi inequality [
6].
Example 2.
Let . Let φ be a function defined by , . Define the unital positive linear map be defined by , for all matrices .
The following result gives an alternative extensive proof of [
6, Theorem 2.2]. The approach presented in the proof is completely different and motivated by the concept of the Cartesian decomposition of an arbitrary Hilbert space operator. At the same time, a chain of inequalities improves the result in [
6] and refines the lower bound of the celebrated Kittaneh inequality (
3).
Theorem 5.
Let be the Cartesian decomposition of an operator . If is a non-negative increasing operator convex function, then the following chain of inequalities
are hold.
Proof. Since
, then we have
The monotonicity of
and the above identity imply that
and
for all
. Therefore,
Taking the supremum over all unit vector
, since
is increasing we get
Integrating with respect to
over
, we have
and this proves the required result. □
The following result refines (
27) and gives a better estimate of the numerical radius.
Theorem 6.
Let be the Cartesian decomposition of an operator . If is non-negative increasing operator convex function, then
for all real numbers .
Proof. Our proof is similar to that one presented in the proof of Theorem 5. Let
, since
, then we have
The monotonicity of
and the above identity imply that
and
for all positive real numbers
. Therefore,
Taking the supremum over all unit vector
, since
is increasing we get
which yields the desired result. □
Example 3.
Consider . It is easy to observe that . Define the function . So, by applying the first inequality in (28) (which is the same result given in [6, Theorem 2.2]) gives that (the case when )
While selecting various values for r and s yields better estimations. Indeed, in this example; as the value of r is greater than s we get a better estimation (lower bound) and this improves Mordai–Sabaheh’s inequality (the case when , above). In general, once the values of and r are large (small) enough and the values of and s are small (large) enough we get better estimation, and vice versa. Based on that, it is convenient to note that (30) always gives a better lower bound.
In [
7], Moradi and Sabaheh used the interesting inequality
for every selfadjoint operators
, to prove the following refinement of the left-hand-side of (
3), as follows:
By recalling the original result in [
7], an interesting improvement of (
30) holds. Namely, we have
The next result extends and refines the inequality (
31) as follows:
Theorem 7.
Let be the Cartesian decomposition of . Then,
for all and all positive real numbers .
Proof. Since
be the Cartesian decomposition of
. Then
and
Replacing
and
by
and
, respectively, in (
29), we get
Consequently,
which gives the desired result in (
32). □
Remark 1. In particular, choosing in (32), then we refer to (31).
Remark 2. In spite of that, (32) still can give a better estimation that (31). By choosing specific values for r and s we would then get a better lower bound. To check that consider the same example considered in Example 3. We left the investigation of this note to the interested reader. Nevertheless, once the values of and r are large (small) enough and the values of and s are small (large) enough we get a better estimation than (31).
3. Conclusion
In this work, more accurate numerical radius inequalities refine several well-known and sharp inequalities obtained in the literature. Namely, as it is shown the inequality (
12) refines Sababheh–Moradi inequality (
9). In fact, (
16) is sharper than both (
14) and (
11). An alternative extensive proof of [
6, Theorem 2.2] is provided as well. Among other inequalities, two interesting new results are established. Namely, it is shown that
for every increasing operator convex function
and all real numbers
