Inequalities of Hardy-Littlewood-Pólya type for functions of operators and their applications (Q530338)

In this paper, the authors derive a generalized multiplicative Hardy-Littlewood-Pólya type inequality, as well as several related additive inequalities, for functions of operators in Hilbert spaces. They obtain the modulus of continuity of a function of an operator on a class of elements defined with the help of another function of the operator. Finally, they apply the results to solve the following problems: {\parindent=0.7cm \begin{itemize}\item[(i)] the problem of approximating a function of an unbounded self-adjoint operator by bounded operators, \item[(ii)] the problem of best approximation of a certain class of elements from a Hilbert space by another class, \item[(iii)] the problem of optimal recovery of an operator on a class of elements given with an error. \end{itemize}}
