      This paper investigates the long-standing problem: What is the smallest constant C such that \[ w(TS)\leq Cw(T)\| S\| \] for all commuting bounded linear oprators S and T on a complex Hilbert space? Here, \(w(A)=\sup \{| (Ax,x)| /(x,x),\quad x\neq 0\}.\) With the help of a computer, the author constructs two commuting operators S and T on a 12- dimensional Hilbert space such that \(c>1.01\).
