Some matrix inequalities for weighted power mean (Q277447)

In this paper, the author shows that, for any positive definite matrices \(A\) and \(B\), and real numbers \(\nu\), \(\mu\), and \(p\), with \(-1\leq p< 1\) and \(0< \nu\leq\mu< 1\), we have \[ \frac{\nu}{\mu}(A\nabla_{\mu}B-A\sharp_{p,\mu}B)\leq{A\nabla_{\nu}B-A\sharp_{p,\nu}B}\leq\frac{1-\nu}{1-\mu}(A\nabla_{\mu}B-A\sharp_{p,\mu}B) \] where \(\nabla_{\nu}\) and \(\sharp_{p,\nu}\) are the weighted arithmetic and power means, respectively. This result can be seen as a generalization to some inequalities provided by \textit{H. Alzer}, the reviewer, and \textit{A. Kovačec} [Linear Multilinear Algebra 63, No. 3, 622--635 (2015; Zbl 1316.15023)]. Several applications are provided.
