Norm inequalities for certain operator sums (Q5961813): Difference between revisions

Certain inequalities concerning norms of sums of operators play important roles in the theories of best approximation in \(C^*\)-algebras and generalized inverses. \textit{K. R. Davidson} and \textit{S. C. Power} [J. Reine Angew. Math. 368, 43-62 (1986; Zbl 0579.46038)] have proved that \[ \|A+ B\|\leq \max(\|A\|,\|B\|)+\|AB\|^{1/2}, \] where \(A, B\) are positive operators on a Hilbert space and \(\|\cdot\|\) denotes the usual operator norm. In the present paper, the author extends such results to larger classes of norms where operators have orthogonal ranges.
