Stability of \(\mathcal{AN}\)-operators under functional calculus (Q6081112)

A Hilbert space operator \(T\) on \(H\) is said to be absolutely norm attaining (or an \(\mathcal{AN}\)-)operator if \(T\) attains its norm on every closed subspace of \(H\). Taking into account the structure of an \(\mathcal{AN}\)-operator \(T\), the authors show, as a main result, that for every continuous strictly increasing function \(f\) from \([0,\infty)\) into \([0,\infty)\), the operator \(f(T)\) is also of an \(\mathcal{AN}\)-operator.
