Further generalizations of Bebiano-Lemos-Providência inequality (Q2143929)

The authors discuss Furuta-type inequalities with negative parameters. In fact, they prove the following result. Let \(A,B\) be positive invertible bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space. Then \[ A\geq B>0\ \Longrightarrow\ A^{-r}\natural_{\frac{1+r}{p+r}} B^{p}\leq A \] for all \(p\leq -1\) and \(r\in [-1,0]\), or for \(p\in [0,1]\) and \(r\leq -1\), where \(\natural_{\alpha}\) is defined by the same formula of the \(\alpha\)-weighted operator geometric mean for \(\alpha\in \mathbb{R}\). If \(p\geq 1\) and \(r\geq 0\), then the above inequality is called the Furuta inequality. Next, the authors consider reverse implications of the Furuta-type inequalities. The authors obtain the following. For \(p\geq -1\) and \(r\in [-1,0]\), or for \(p\in [0,1]\) and \(r\leq -1\), \[ A^{r}\natural_{1/p}B^{p+r}\leq A^{1+r} \ \Longrightarrow\ B^{1+s}\leq A^{1+s} \] for all \(-1\leq s \leq r\), or for \(r\leq s\leq -1\), respectively. By using these results, the authors obtain some norm inequalities which have a similar form as in [\textit{N. Bebiano} et al., Linear Algebra Appl. 401, 159--172 (2005; Zbl 1076.15019)]. Moreover, the authors obtain several inequalities by using the generalized Kantorovich constant or the generalized Furuta-type inequalities. Some of them are inequalities of relative operator entropy, and some of them are log-majorization relations.
