Norm inequalities related to operator monotone functions

Abstract

Let $A$ be a positive definite operator on a Hilbert space $H$, and $|||.|||$ be a unitarily invariant norm on $B(H)$. We show that if $f$ is an operator monotone function on $(0,\infty)$ and $n\in \mathbb{N}$, then $|||D^n f(A)|||\leq\|f^{(n)}(A)\|$ and $\|f^{(n)}(\cdot)\|$ is a quasi-convex function on the set of all positive definite operators in $B(H)$. We establish some estimates of the right hand side of some Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities in which differentiable functions are involved, and norms of the maps induced by them on the set of self adjoint operators are convex, quasi-convex or $s$-convex. As applications, we obtain some of bounds for $|||f(B)-f(A)|||$ in term of $|||B-A|||$. For instance, Let $f,g$ be two operator monotone functions on $(0,\infty)$. Then, for every unitarily invariant norm $|||.|||$ and every positive definite operators $A,B$, \begin{align*} &\left|\left|\left|f(A)g(A)-f(B)g(B)\right|\right|\right|\notag\\ &\leq|||B-A|||\Big[\max\left\{\|f'(A)\|,\|f'(B)\|\right\}\times\max\left\{\|g(A)\|,\|g(B)\|\right\}\notag\\ &+\max\left\{\|f(A)\|,\|f(B)\|\right\}\times \max\left\{\|g'(A)\|,\|g'(B)\|\right\}\Big]. \end{align*}
