    The authors investigate several singular value inequalities and norm inequalities involving sums and direct sums of operators. They prove the following nice Cauchy--Schwarz type inequality for singular values: \[ s_j \left(\sum_{i=1}^n A_iX_iB_i\right) \leq \left\| \sum_{i=1}^n| A_i^*| ^2\right\| ^{1/2} \left\| \sum_{i=1}^n| B_i| ^2\right\| ^{1/2} s_j\left(\oplus_{i=1}^n X_i\right),\quad j=1, 2, \dots, \] where \(A_i, B_i, X_i\), \(1\leq i\leq n\), are bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space and the operators \(X_i\), \(1\leq i\leq n\), are compact. They also show that if \(X\) and \(Y\) are compact operators on a Hilbert space, then \(s_j\left(\frac{X + Y}{2}\right)\leq s_j(X \oplus Y)\), \(j=1, 2, \dots\). The authors generalize the inequality \[ \left|\left|\left|\left(\frac{X+Y}{2}\right)\oplus\left(\frac{X+Y}{2}\right)\right|\right|\right|\leq||| X\oplus Y|||, \] where \(|||\cdot|||\) is a unitarily invariant norm and \(X\) and \(Y\) are bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space by giving a weighted mean norm inequality.
