Let \(A,B\) be bounded linear operators on a complex Hilbert space. The author considers conditions on \(B\) such that \[ \| A^{\frac{1}{2}}|A^{\frac{-1}{2}}BA^{\frac{-1}{2}}| A^{\frac{1}{2}}\|\geq \|B \| \quad \text{holds for all }A>0. \] It is shown that {\parindent=7mm \begin{itemize}\item[(i)] if the norm inequality holds, then \(B\) is normaloid; \item[(ii)] if \(B\) is a self-adjoint operator, then the norm inequality holds; \item[(iii)] if \(B\) is a \(2\)-by-\(2\) normal matrix, then the norm inequality holds. \end{itemize}} However, the author is not able to give any proof or counterexample for the norm inequality in the case where \(B\) is a \(3\)-by-\(3\) normal matrix.
