A matrix trace inequality (Q5955590)

The matrix trace inequality for positive semidefinite matrices \(A,B\in \mathbb{C}^{n\times n}\), \[ \text{tr} (AB)^m\leq\bigl\{ \text{tr} (A)^{2m}\text{tr}(B)^{2m}\bigr\}^{1/2}, \] where \(m\) is an integer, is established. The above inequality improves the result given by \textit{X. Yang} [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 250, No. 1, 372-374 (2000; Zbl 0974.15017)].
