New proofs of the operator monotony of the square root and the inverse

Abstract: Let

A, B i n B (H)

. We present among others a simple proof of the widely known result stating that if

0 l e q A l e q B

, then

s q r t A l e q s q r t B

. The same idea is used to prove that if

0 l e q A l e q B

and

A

is invertible, then

B

too is invertible and

B^{- 1} l e q A^{- 1}

.
