Abstract: A pre-order and equivalence relation on the class of positive real Hilbert space operators are introduced, in correspondence with similar relations for contraction operators defined by Yu.L. Shmul'yan in [7]. It is shown that the pre-order, and hence the equivalence relation, are preserved by certain linear fractional transformations. As an application, the operator relations are extended to the class fC(cU) of Carath'eodory functions on the unit disc BD of BC whose values are operators on a finite dimensional Hilbert space cU. With respect to these relations on fC(cU) it turns out that the associated linear fractional transformations of fC(cU) preserve the equivalence relation on their natural domain of definition, but not necessarily the pre-order, paralleling similar results for Schur class functions in [3].
