Some inequalities for normal operators in Hilbert spaces (Q2466269)

Let \(T\) be a normal operator acting on a Hilbert space \(H\). By the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality, \(| \langle T^2x,x\rangle| = | \langle Tx,T^*x\rangle| \leq \| Tx\| \,\| T^*x\| =\| Tx\| ^2\) (\(x\in H\)). Looking for upper bounds for the difference \(\| Tx\|^2-|\langle T^2x,x\rangle|\), the author establishes some reverse inequalities for the inequality above by employing some inequalities for vectors in \(H\) due to Buzano, Dunkl-Williams, Hile, Goldstein-Ryff-Clarke, Dragomir-Sándor and Dragomir. See also the author's subsequently published paper [\textit{S. S. Dragomir}, Banach J.~Math. Anal. 1, No. 2, 154--175 (2007; Zbl 1136.47006)].
