Some upper bounds for the Davis-Wielandt radius of Hilbert space operators (Q2295497)

The numerical radius and the Davis-Wielandt radius of a bounded linear operator \((T)\) on a Hilbert space \((H,\langle\cdot,\cdot\rangle)\) are defined by \((T)=\sup\{|\langle Tx,x\rangle|:x\in H\), \(|x|=1\}\) and \(w(T)=\sup\{\sqrt{|\langle Tx,x\rangle|^2+|Tx|^4}:x\in H\), \(|x|=1\}\), respectively. In the paper under review, the authors present several inequalities related to these radii. In particular, they prove that \(dw(T)\leq\left(w(|T|^4+|T|^8)+2w^2(|T|^2T)\right)^{1/4}\) and \(dw^2(T)\leq\max\{|T|^2, |T|^4\}+\sqrt{2}w(|T|^2T)\). Several examples illustrate the incomparability of the obtained upper bounds.
