Functions of perturbed normal operators

Abstract: In cite{Pe1}, cite{Pe2}, cite{AP1}, cite{AP2}, and cite{AP3} sharp estimates for

f (A) - f (B)

were obtained for self-adjoint operators

A

and

B

and for various classes of functions

f

on the real line

R

. In this note we extend those results to the case of functions of normal operators. We show that if

f

belongs to the H"older class

L_{a} (R^{2})

,

0 < a < 1

, of functions of two variables, and

N_{1}

and

N_{2}

are normal operators, then

| f (N_{1}) - f (N_{2}) | l e c o n s t | f |_{L_{a}} | N_{1} - N_{2} |^{a}

. We obtain a more general result for functions in the space

for an arbitrary modulus of continuity

o

. We prove that if

f

belongs to the Besov class

, then it is operator Lipschitz, i.e.,

. We also study properties of

f (N_{1}) - f (N_{2})

in the case when

f i n L_{a} (R^{2})

and

N_{1} - N_{2}

belongs to the Schatten-von Neuman class

.
