Primary 47C05, 47C10; Secondary 47A12. 1. I NTRODUCTION Let (E, k·k) be a normed linear space over the real or complex number field K. On Kn endowed with the canonical linear structure we consider a norm k·kn and the unit ball B (k·kn ) := {λ = (λ1 , . . . , λn ) ∈ Kn | kλkn ≤ 1} . As an example of such norms we should mention the usual p−norms ( max {|λ1 | , . . . , |λn |} if p = ∞; (1.1) kλkn,p := 1 P if p ∈ [1, ∞). ( nk=1 |λk |p ) p The Euclidean norm is obtained for p = 2, i.e., kλkn,2 = n X k=1 084-07 ! 12 |λk |2 . 2 S.S. D RAGOMIR It is well known that on E n := E × · · · × E endowed with the canonical linear structure we can define the following p−norms: ( max {kx1 k , . . . , kxn k} if p = ∞; (1.2) kXkn,p := 1 P if p ∈ [1, ∞); ( nk=1 kxk kp ) p where X = (x1 , . . . , xn ) ∈ E n . For a given norm k·kn on Kn we define the functional k·kh,n : E n → [0, ∞) given by n X (1.3) kXkh,n := sup λj x j , (λ1 ,...,λn )∈B (k·k ) n j=1 where X = (x1 , . . . , xn ) ∈ E n . It is easy to see that: (i) kXkh,n ≥ 0 for any X ∈ E n ; (ii) kX + Y kh,n ≤ kXkh,n + kY kh,n for any X, Y ∈ E n ; (iii) kαXkh,n = |α| kXkh,n for each α ∈ K and X ∈ E n ; and therefore k·kh,n is a semi-norm on E n . This will be called the hypo-semi-norm generated by the norm k·kn on X n . P We observe that kXkh,n = 0 if and only if nj=1 λj xj = 0 for any (λ1 , . . . , λn ) ∈ B (k·kn ) . If there exists λ01 , . . . , λ0n 6= 0 such that (λ01 , 0, . . . , 0) , (0, λ02 , . . . , 0) , . . . , (0, 0, . . . , λ0n ) ∈ B (k·kn ) then the semi-norm generated by k·kn is a norm on E n . If by Bn,p with p ∈ [1, ∞] we denote the balls generated by the p−norms k·kn,p on Kn , then we can obtain the following hypo-p-norms on X n : n X (1.4) kXkh,n,p := sup λj x j , (λ1 ,...,λn )∈Bn,p j=1 with p ∈ [1, ∞] . For p = 2, we have the Euclidean ball in Kn , which we denote by Bn , ) ( n X Bn = λ = (λ1 , . . . , λn ) ∈ Kn |λi |2 ≤ 1 i=1 n that generates the hypo-Euclidean norm on E , i.e., (1.5) kXkh,e n X λj x j . := sup (λ1 ,...,λn )∈Bn j=1 Moreover, if E = H, H is a Hilbert space over K, then the hypo-Euclidean norm on H n will be denoted simply by n X (1.6) k(x1 , . . . , xn )ke := sup λ x j j , (λ1 ,...,λn )∈Bn j=1 and its properties will be extensively studied in the present paper. Both the notation in (1.6) and the necessity of investigating its main properties are motivated by the recent work of G. Popescu [9] who introduced a similar norm on the Cartesian product of Banach algebra B (H) of all bounded linear operators on H and used it to investigate various properties of n−tuple of operators in Multivariable Operator Theory. The study is also motivated by the fact that the hypo-Euclidean norm is closely related to the quadratic form J. Inequal. Pure and Appl.

The paper is structured as follows: in Section 2 we establish the equivalence of the hypoEuclidean norm with the usual Euclidean norm on H n , provide a representation result and obtain some lower bounds for it. In Section 3, on utilising the classical results of Boas-Bellman and Bombieri as well as some recent similar results obtained by the author, we give various upper bounds for the hypo-Euclidean norm. These are complemented in Section 4 with other inequalities between p−norms and the hypo-Euclidean norm. Section 5 is devoted to the presentation of some conditional reverse inequalities between the hypo-Euclidean norm and the norm of the sum of the vectors involved. In Section 6, the natural connection between the hypo-Euclidean norm and the operator norm k(·, . . . , ·)ke introduced by Popescu in [9] is investigated. A representation result is obtained and some applications for operator inequalities are pointed out. Finally, in Section 7, a new norm for operators is introduced and some natural inequalities are obtained. j=1 2. F UNDAMENTAL P ROPERTIES Let (H; h·, ·i) be a Hilbert space over K and n ∈ N, n ≥ 1. In the Cartesian product H n := H × · · · × H, for the n−tuples of vectors X = (x1 , . . . , xn ), Y = (y1 , . . . , yn ) ∈ H n , we can define the inner product h·, ·i by (2.1) hX, Y i := n X X, Y ∈ H n , hxj , yj i , j=1 which generates the Euclidean norm k·k2 on H n , i.e., (2.2) kXk2 := n X ! 21 kxj k2 X ∈ H n. , j=1 The following result connects the usual Euclidean norm k·k with the hypo-Euclidean norm k·ke . Theorem 2.1. For any X ∈ H n we have the inequalities 1 kXk2 ≥ kXke ≥ √ kXk2 , n (2.3) i.e., k·k2 and k·ke are equivalent norms on H n . Proof. By the Cauchy-Bunyakovsky-Schwarz inequality we have (2.4) n X λj x j ≤ j=1 n X j=1 ! 12 |λj |2 n X ! 12 kxj k2 j=1 for any (λ1 , . . . , λn ) ∈ Kn . Taking the supremum over (λ1 , . . . , λn ) ∈ Bn in (2.4) we obtain the first inequality in (2.3). If by σ we denote the rotation-invariant normalised Pn positive Borel measure on the unit sphere 2 n ∂Bn ∂Bn = (λ1 , . . . , λn ) ∈ K i=1 |λi | = 1 whose existence and properties have been J.

D RAGOMIR pointed out in [10], then we can state that Z 1 (2.5) |λk |2 dσ (λ) = and n ∂Bn Z λk λj dσ (λ) = 0 if k 6= j, k, j = 1, . . . , n. ∂Bn Utilising these properties, we have 2 # " n n X X λk x k = sup λk λj hxk , xj i kXk2e = sup (λ1 ,...,λn )∈Bn k,j=1 (λ1 ,...,λn )∈Bn k=1 # Z "X n n Z X λk λj hxk , xj i dσ (λ) = λk λj hxk , xj i dσ (λ) ≥ ∂Bn k,j=1 k,j=1 ∂Bn n = 1X 1 kxk k2 = kXk22 , n k=1 n from where we deduce the second inequality in (2.3). The following representation result for the hypo-Euclidean norm plays a key role in obtaining various bounds for this norm: Theorem 2.2. For any X ∈ H n with X = (x1 , . . . , xn ) , we have ! 12 n X (2.6) kXke = sup |hx, xj i|2 . kxk=1 j=1 Proof. We use the following well known representation result for scalars: 2 n n X X (2.7) |zj |2 = sup λj zj , (λ1 ,...,λn )∈Bn j=1 j=1 n where (z1 , . . . , zn ) ∈ K . Utilising this property, we thus have ! 12 n X (2.8) |hx, xj i|2 = j=1 * + n X sup λj x j x, (λ1 ,...,λn )∈Bn j=1 for any x ∈ H. Now, taking the supremum over kxk = 1 in (2.8) we get ! 21 " n X sup |hx, xj i|2 = sup sup kxk=1 j=1 * +# n X x, λ x j j kxk=1 (λ1 ,...,λn )∈Bn j=1 * " +# n X = sup sup x, λj x j (λ1 ,...,λn )∈Bn kxk=1 j=1 n X = sup λ x j j , (λ1 ,...,λn )∈Bn j=1 since, in any Hilbert space we have that supkuk=1 |hu, vi| = kvk for each v ∈ H.

If X = (x1 , . . . , xn ) is an n−tuple of orthonormal vectors, i.e., we recall that kxk k = 1 and hxk , xj i = 0 for k, j ∈ {1, . . . , n} with k 6= j, then kXke ≤ 1. The proof is obvious by Bessel’s inequality. The next proposition contains two lower bounds for the hypo-Euclidean norm that are sometimes better than the one in (2.3), as will be shown by some examples later. Proposition 2.4. For any X = (x1 , . . . , xn ) ∈ H n \ {0} we have P n 1 kXk2 j=1 kxj k xj , (2.9) kXke ≥ P n √1 x j=1 j . n Proof. By the definition of the hypo-Euclidean norm we have that, if (λ01 , . . . , λ0n ) ∈ Bn , then obviously n X 0 kXke ≥ λj x j . j=1 The choice kxj k , j ∈ {1, . . . , n} , kXk2 which satisfies the condition (λ01 , . . . , λ0n ) ∈ Bn will produce the first inequality while the selection 1 λ0j = √ , j ∈ {1, . . . , n} , n will give the second inequality in (2.9). λ0j := Remark 2.5. For n = 2, the hypo-Euclidean norm on H 2 1 k(x, y)ke = sup kλx + µyk = sup |hz, xi|2 + |hz, yi|2 2 (λ,µ)∈B2 kzk=1 is bounded below by 1 1 B1 (x, y) := √ kxk2 + kyk2 2 , 2 kkxk x + kyk yk B2 (x, y) := 1 kxk2 + kyk2 2 and 1 B3 (x, y) := √ kx + yk . 2 If H = C endowed with the canonical inner product hx, yi := xȳ where x, y ∈ C, then 1 1 B1 (x, y) = √ |x|2 + |y|2 2 , 2 ||x| x + |y| y| B2 (x, y) = 1 |x|2 + |y|2 2 and 1 B3 (x, y) = √ |x + y| , 2 J.

D RAGOMIR The plots of the differences D1 (x, y) := B1 (x, y) − B2 (x, y) and D2 (x, y) := B1 (x, y) − B3 (x, y) which are depicted in Figure 2.1 and Figure 2.2, respectively, show that the bound B1 is not always better than B2 or B3 . However, since the plot of D3 (x, y) := B2 (x, y) − B3 (x, y) (see Figure 2.3) appears to indicate that, at least in the case of C2 , it may be possible that the bound B2 is always better than B3 , hence we can ask in general which bound from (2.6) is better for a given n ≥ 2? This is an open problem that will be left to the interested reader for further investigation. 10 8 6 4 2 0 -2 -4 10 5 5 0 -5 x -5 y 0 -10 10 -10 Figure 2.1: The behaviour of D1 (x, y) 10 8 6 4 2 -10 0 -5 -2 -4 10 0 y 5 5 0 x -5 10 -10 Figure 2.2: The behaviour of D2 (x, y) J.

U PPER B OUNDS VIA THE B OAS -B ELLMAN AND B OMBIERI T YPE I NEQUALITIES In 1941, R.P. Boas [3] and in 1944, independently, R. Bellman [1] proved the following generalisation of Bessel’s inequality that can be stated for any family of vectors {y1 , . . . , yn }(see also [8, p. 392] or [5, p. 125]): ! 21 n X X (3.1) |hx, yj i|2 ≤ kxk2 max kyj k2 + |hyk , yj i|2 1≤j≤n j=1 1≤j6=k≤n for any x, y1 . . . , yn vectors in the real or complex inner product space (H; h·, ·i) . This result is known in the literature as the Boas-Bellman inequality. The following result provides various upper bounds for the hypo-Euclidean norm: Theorem 3.1. For any X = (x1 , . . . , xn ) ∈ H n , we have ! 12 P 2 2 max kx k + , |hxk , xj i| j 1≤j≤n (3.2) kXk2e ≤ 1≤j6=k≤n max kxj k2 + (n − 1) max |hxk , xj i| ; 1≤j≤n " (3.3) kXk2e ≤ 1≤j6=k≤n n X 2 max kxj k kxj k2 + max {kxj k kxk k} 1≤j≤n j=1 1≤j6=k≤n # 12 X |hxj , xk i| 1≤j6=k≤n and (3.4) n 2 P kxj k2 + (n − 1) kXk2e max |hxj , xk i| , max kxj k 1≤j≤n 1≤j6=k≤n 4 j=1 kXke ≤ P 2 2 |hxj , xk i| . kXke max kxj k + max {kxj k kxk k} 1≤j≤n J.

Taking the supremum over kxk = 1 in (3.1) and utilising the representation (2.6), we deduce the first inequality in (3.2). In [4], we proved amongst others the following inequalities n 2 P 2 max |c | kyj k2 , n X 1≤j≤n j j=1 (3.5) cj hx, yj i ≤ kxk2 × n P 2 |cj | max kyj k2 , j=1 1≤j≤n j=1 + kxk2 × P max {|cj ck |} 1≤j6=k≤n (n − 1) |hyj , yk i| , 1≤j6=k≤n n P |cj |2 max |hyj , yk i| , 1≤j6=k≤n j=1 for any y1 , . . . , yn , x ∈ H and c1 , . . . , cn ∈ K, where (3.5) should be seen as all possible configurations. The choice cj = hx, yj i, j ∈ {1, . . . , n} will produce the following four inequalities: n 2 P " n #2 max |hx, y i| kyj k2 , j 1≤j≤n X j=1 (3.6) |hx, yj i|2 ≤ kxk2 × n P 2 |hx, yj i| max kyj k2 , j=1 1≤j≤n j=1 2 + kxk × P max {|hx, yj i| |hx, yk i|} 1≤j6=k≤n (n − 1) |hyj , yk i| , 1≤j6=k≤n n P |hx, yj i|2 max |hyj , yk i| . 1≤j6=k≤n j=1 Taking the supremum over kxk = 1 and utilising the representation (2.6) we easily deduce the rest of the four inequalities. A different generalisation of Bessel’s inequality for non-orthogonal vectors is the Bombieri inequality (see [2] or [8, p. 397] and [5, p. 134]): ( n ) n X X (3.7) |hx, yj i|2 ≤ kxk2 max |hyj , yk i| , 1≤j≤n j=1 k=1 for any x ∈ H, where y1 , . . . , yn are vectors in the real or complex inner product space (H; h·, ·i) . Note that, the Bombieri inequality was not stated in the general case of inner product spaces in [2]. However, the inequality presented there easily leads to (3.7) which, apparently, was firstly mentioned as is in [8, p. 394]. On utilising the Bombieri inequality (3.7) and the representation Theorem 2.2, we can state the following simple upper bound for the hypo-Euclidean norm k·ke . Theorem 3.2. For any X = (x1 , . . . , xn ) ∈ H n , we have ( n ) X 2 (3.8) kXke ≤ max |hxj , xk i| . 1≤j≤n k=1 In [6] (see also [5, p. 138]), we have established the following norm inequalities: n 2 ! uq u1 n n n X X X X 1 1 |αk |2 |hzj , zk i|q , (3.9) αj zj ≤ n p + t −1 j=1 k=1 J.

R EVERSE I NEQUALITIES Before we proceed with establishing some reverse inequalities for the hypo-Euclidean norm, we recall some reverse results of the Cauchy-Bunyakovsky-Schwarz inequality for real or complex numbers as follows: If γ, Γ ∈ K (K = C, R) and αj ∈ K, j ∈ {1, . . . , n} with the property that (5.1) 0 ≤ Re [(Γ − αj ) (αj − γ̄)] = (Re Γ − Re αj ) (Re αj − Re γ) + (Im Γ − Im αj ) (Im αj − Im γ) or, equivalently, αj − γ + Γ ≤ 1 |Γ − γ| 2 2 (5.2) for each j ∈ {1, . . . , n} , then (see for instance [5, p. 9]) 2 n n X X 1 |αj |2 − αj ≤ · n2 |Γ − γ|2 .

We notice that a simple sufficient condition for (5.1) to hold is that (5.8) Re Γ ≥ Re αj ≥ Re γ and Im Γ ≥ Im αj ≥ Im γ for each j ∈ {1, . . . , n} . We can state and prove the following conditional inequalities for the hypo-Euclidean norm k·ke : J. Inequal. Pure and Appl. Math., 8(2) (2007), Art. 52, 22 pp. http://jipam.vu.edu.au/ 16 S.S. D RAGOMIR Theorem 5.1. Let ϕ, φ ∈ K and X = (x1 , . . . , xn ) ∈ H n such that either: ϕ + φ 1 (5.9) hx, xj i − 2 ≤ 2 |φ − ϕ| or, equivalently, Re [(φ − hx, xj i) (hxj , xi − ϕ̄)] ≥ 0 (5.10) for each j ∈ {1, . . . , n} and for any x ∈ H, kxk = 1. Then kXk2e ≤ (5.11) 1 1 kSk2 + n |φ − ϕ|2 . n 4 Moreover, if Re (φϕ̄) > 0, then kXk2e (5.12) 1 |φ + ϕ|2 ≤ · kSk2 4n Re (φϕ) and kXk2e ≤ (5.13) h i p 1 kSk2 + |φ + ϕ| − 2 Re (φϕ̄) kSk . n If φ 6= −ϕ, then kXke ≤ (5.14) where S = Pn j=1 1 1 |φ − ϕ|2 kSk + n · , n 4 |φ + ϕ| xj . Proof. We only prove the inequality (5.11). Let x ∈ H, kxk = 1.

Due to the fact that ϕ + φ ϕ + φ hx, xj i − ≤ xj − · x 2 2 for any j ∈ {1, . . . , n} and x ∈ H, kxk = 1, then a sufficient condition for (5.9) to hold is that xj − ϕ + φ · x ≤ 1 |φ − ϕ| 2 2 for each j ∈ {1, . . . , n} and x ∈ H, kxk = 1.

A PPLICATIONS FOR n−T UPLES OF O PERATORS In [9], the author has introduced the following norm on the Cartesian product B (n) (H) := B (H) × · · · × B (H) , where B (H) denotes the Banach algebra of all bounded linear operators defined on the complex Hilbert space H : (6.1) k(T1 , . . . , Tn )ke := sup kλ1 T1 + · · · + λn Tn k , (λ1 ,...,λn )∈Bn P where (T1 , . . . , Tn ) ∈ B (n) (H) and Bn := (λ1 , . . . , λn ) ∈ Cn ni=1 |λi |2 ≤ 1 is the Euclidean closed ball in Cn . It is clear that k·ke is a norm on B (n) (H) and for any (T1 , . . . , Tn ) ∈ B (n) (H) we have (6.2) k(T1 , . . . , Tn )ke = k(T1∗ , . . . , Tn∗ )ke , where Ti∗ is the adjoint operator of Ti , i ∈ {1, . . . , n} . It has been shown in [9] that the following inequality holds true: 1 n 1 n 2 2 X X 1 ∗ ∗ √ (6.3) Tj Tj ≤ k(T1 , . . . , Tn )ke ≤ Tj Tj n j=1 j=1 for any n−tuple (T1 , . . . , Tn ) ∈ B (n) (H) and the constants √1n and 1 are best possible. In the same paper [9] the author has introduced the Euclidean operator radius of an n−tuple of operators (T1 , . . . , Tn ) by ! 12 n X (6.4) we (T1 , . . . , Tn ) := sup |hTj x, xi|2 kxk=1 j=1 and proved that we (·) is a norm on B (n) (H) and satisfies the double inequality: (6.5) 1 k(T1 , . . . , Tn )ke ≤ we (T1 , . . . , Tn ) ≤ k(T1 , . . . , Tn )ke 2 for each n−tuple (T1 , . . . , Tn ) ∈ B (n) (H) . As pointed out in [9], the Euclidean numerical radius also satisfies the double inequality: 1 1 n n 2 X 2 X 1 √ (6.6) Tj Tj∗ ≤ we (T1 , . . . , Tn ) ≤ Tj Tj∗ 2 n j=1 j=1 for any (T1 , . . . , Tn ) ∈ B (n) (H) and the constants 2√1 n and 1 are best possible. We are now able to establish the following natural connections that exists between the hypoEuclidean norm of vectors in a Cartesian product of Hilbert spaces and the norm k·ke for n−tuples of operators in the Banach algebra B (H) . Theorem 6.1. For any (T1 , . . . , Tn ) ∈ B (n) (H) we have (6.7) k(T1 , . . . , Tn )ke = sup k(T1 y, . . . , Tn y)ke kyk=1 = sup kyk=1,kxk=1 J. Inequal. Pure and Appl.

By the definition of the k·ke −norm on B (n) (H) and the hypo-Euclidean norm on H n , we have: " # (6.8) k(T1 , . . . , Tn )ke = sup k(λ1 T1 + · · · + λn Tn ) yk sup (λ1 ,...,λn )∈Bn kyk=1 # " = sup sup kyk=1 kλ1 T1 y + · · · + λn Tn yk (λ1 ,...,λn )∈Bn = sup k(T1 y, . . . , Tn y)ke . kyk=1 Utilising the representation of the hypo-Euclidean norm on H n from Theorem 2.2, we have ! 21 n X 2 (6.9) k(T1 y, . . . , Tn y)ke = sup |hTj y, xi| . kxk=1 j=1 Making use of (6.8) and (6.9) we deduce the desired equality (6.7). Remark 6.2. Utilising Theorem 2.1, we have ! 21 n X 1 2 (6.10) kTj yk ≥ k(T1 y, . . . , Tn y)ke ≥ √ n j=1 for any y ∈ H, kyk = 1. Since n X 2 kTj yk = j=1 * n X n X ! 12 kTj yk 2 j=1 + Tj∗ Tj y, y kyk = 1 , j=1 hence, on taking the supremum over kyk = 1 in (6.10) and on observing that * n + ! n n n X X X X Tj∗ Tj = Tj∗ Tj = Tj Tj∗ , sup Tj∗ Tj y, y = w kyk=1 j=1 j=1 j=1 j=1 we deduce the inequality (6.3) that has been established in [9] by a different argument. We observe that, due to the representation Theorem 6.1, some inequalities obtained for the hypo-Euclidean norm can be utilised in obtaining various new inequalities for the operator norm k·ke by employing a standard approach consisting in taking the supremum over kyk = 1, as described in the above remark. The following different lower bound for the Euclidean operator norm k·ke can be stated: Proposition 6.3. For any (T1 , . . . , Tn ) ∈ B (n) (H) , we have 1 (6.11) k(T1 , . . . , Tn )ke ≥ √ kT1 + · · · + Tn k . n Proof. Utilising Proposition 2.4 and Theorem 6.1 we have: k(T1 , . . . , Tn )ke = sup k(T1 y, . . . , Tn y)ke kyk=1 1 ≥ √ sup kT1 y + · · · + Tn yk n kyk=1 1 = √ kT1 + · · · + Tn k n which is the desired inequality (6.11).

On utilising the inequalities (3.8) and (3.17) we can state the following result as well: Theorem 6.5. For any (T1 , . . . , Tn ) ∈ B (n) (H) , we have: n P ∗ w (Tk Tj ) ; max 1≤j≤n k=1 " # 12 n P w2 (Tk∗ Tj ) ; j,k=1 (6.13) k(T1 , . . . , Tn )k2e ≤ n 12 P 2 ∗ n max w (Tk Tj ) ; 1≤j≤n k=1 " # 12 n P max {w2 (Tk∗ Tj )} . n 1≤k≤n j=1 The results from Section 5 can be also naturally used to provide some reverse inequalities that are of interest.

Taking the supremum over kyk = 1 and utilising Theorem 6.1, we deduce (6.15). The other inequalities follow by a similar procedure on making use of the inequalities (5.12) – (5.14) and the details are omitted. Remark 6.7. The inequality (6.14) is equivalent with (6.19) 0 ≤ Re [(φ − hx, Tj yi) (hTj y, xi − ϕ̄)] = (Re (φ) − Re hx, Tj yi) (Re hTj y, xi − Re (ϕ)) + (Im (φ) − Im hx, Tj yi) (Im hTj y, xi − Im (ϕ)) for each j ∈ {1, . . . , n} and kxk = kyk = 1. A sufficient condition for (6.19) to hold is then: Re (ϕ) ≤ Re hx, Tj yi ≤ Re (φ) (6.20) Im (ϕ) ≤ Im hx, T yi ≤ Im (φ) j for any x, y ∈ H with kxk = kyk = 1 and j ∈ {1, . . . , n} . 7. A N ORM ON B (H) For an operator A ∈ B (H) we define (7.1) δ (A) := k(A, A∗ )ke = sup kλA + µA∗ k , (λ,µ)∈B2 where B2 is the Euclidean unit ball in C2 . The properties of this functional are embodied in the following theorem: Theorem 7.1. The functional δ is a norm on B (H) and satisfies the double inequality: (7.2) kAk ≤ δ (A) ≤ 2 kAk for any A ∈ B (H) . J. Inequal. Pure and Appl. Math., 8(2) (2007), Art. 52, 22 pp. http://jipam.vu.edu.au/ H YPO -E UCLIDEAN N ORM 21 Moreover, we have the inequalities √ 1 1 2 A2 + (A∗ )2 2 ≤ δ (A) ≤ A2 + (A∗ )2 2 , (7.3) 2 and √ 1 2 (7.4) kA + A∗ k ≤ δ (A) ≤ kAk2 + w A2 2 2 for any A ∈ B (H) , respectively. Proof. First of all, observe, by Theorem 5.1, that we have the representation 1 (7.5) δ (A) = sup |hAy, xi|2 + |hA∗ y, xi|2 2 kxk=1,kyk=1 for each A ∈ B (H) . Obviously δ (A) ≥ 0 for each A ∈ B (H) and of δ (A) = 0 then, by (7.5), hAy, xi = 0 for any x, y ∈ H with kxk = kyk = 1 which implies that A = 0. Also, by (7.5), we observe that 1 δ (αA) = sup |hαAy, xi|2 + |hᾱA∗ y, xi|2 2 kxk=1,kyk=1 = |α| sup 1 |hAy, xi|2 + |hA∗ y, xi|2 2 kxk=1,kyk=1 = |α| δ (A) for any α ∈ R and A ∈ B (H) . Now, if A, B ∈ B (H) , then δ (A + B) = sup kλA + µA∗ + λB + µB ∗ k (λ,µ)∈B2 ≤ sup kλA + µA∗ k + sup kλB + µB ∗ k (λ,µ)∈B2 (λ,µ)∈B2 = δ (A) + δ (B) , which proves the triangle inequality. Also, we observe that δ (A) ≥ sup |hAy, xi| = kAk kxk=1,kyk=1 and δ (A) ≤ sup [|hAy, xi| + |hA∗ y, xi|] kxk=1,kyk=1 ≤ sup |hAy, xi| + kxk=1,kyk=1 sup |hA∗ y, xi| kxk=1,kyk=1 = 2 kAk and the inequality (7.2) is proved. The inequality (7.3) follows from (6.3) for n = 2, T1 = A and T2 = A∗ while (7.4) follows from Proposition 6.3 and the second inequality in (6.12) for the same choices. Remark 7.2. It is easy to see that √ 1 2 A2 + (A∗ )2 2 ≤ kAk 2 and 2 1 1 A + (A∗ )2 2 , kAk2 + w A2 2 ≤ 2 kAk J. Inequal. Pure and Appl. Math., 8(2) (2007), Art. 52, 22 pp. http://jipam.vu.edu.au/ 22 S.S. D RAGOMIR for each A ∈ B (H) . Also, we notice that if A is self-adjoint, then the equality case holds in the second part of (7.3) and in both sides of (7.4). However, it is an open question for the author √ 2 which of the lower bounds kAk , 2 kA + A∗ k of the norm δ (A) are better and when. The same 1 1 question applies for the upper bounds A2 + (A∗ )2 2 and kAk2 + w (A2 ) 2 , respectively. R EFERENCES [1] R. BELLMAN, Almost orthogonal series, Bull. Amer. Math. Soc., 50 (1944), 517–519.
