The generalized Specht ratio is defined for every \(r\in \mathbb{R}\), \(k> 0\), as \[ S_k(r)= {(k^r- 1)k^{{r\over k^r-1}}\over re\log k}\text{ when }k\neq 1\text{ and }S_1(r)= 1. \] This ratio has been used by some authors in the theory of Hilbert space operator inequalities. For example, \textit{J. I. Fujii}, \textit{T. Furuta}, \textit{T. Yamazaki} and \textit{M. Yanagida} [Sci. Math. 2, 63--64 (1999; Zbl 0951.47020)] gave a characterization of the chaotic operator order in terms of the Specht ratio. The present paper contains some further results in this direction as well as a characterization of the regular order: Among other things, it is shown that if \(A\), \(B\) are positive operators and \({1\over k}\leq A\leq k\) for some \(k\geq 1\), then \(A\geq B\) is equivalent to \[ S_k(2(p- 1)s)^{{2\over s}} A^p\geq B^p\;\Biggl(\forall p\geq 1,\, \forall s\geq 1,\,p-1\geq {1\over s}\Biggr). \] The paper contains also a number of interesting supplementary results and comments.
