Proper improvement of well-known numerical radius inequalities and their applications (Q2047388)

The authors establish some new inequalities for the numerical radius of bounded linear operators. The main section starts with a result that gives an inequality involving the operator norm and the Crawford number of bounded linear operators. Here, new inequalities for the numerical radius of bounded linear operators defined on a complex Hilbert space \(H\) are mentioned. In particular, it is established that, if \(T\) is a bounded linear operator on a Hilbert space \(H\), then \( w^{2}(T)\leq\min_{ 0\leq\alpha\leq 1} \|\alpha T^*T + (1-\alpha)TT^*\|\), where \(w(T)\) is the numerical radius of \(T\). The inequalities obtained here are nontrivial improvements of well-known numerical radius inequalities. As an application of the numerical radius inequalities obtained, the authors give a better estimation of the bounds for the zeros of a complex monic polynomial. The paper contains many motivational results.
