Advanced Refinements of Numerical Radius Inequalities

Abstract

We prove several numerical radius inequalities for linear operators in Hilbert spaces. It is shown, among other inequalities, that if $A$ is a bounded linear operator on a complex Hilbert space, then \[ω\left( A \right)\le \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\left\| {{\left| A \right|}^{2}}+{{\left| {{A}^{*}} \right|}^{2}} \right\|+\left\| \left| A \right|\left| {{A}^{*}} \right|+\left| {{A}^{*}} \right|\left| A \right| \right\|},\] where $\omega \left(A\right)$, $\Vert A\Vert$, and $\left|A\right|$ are the numerical radius, the usual operator norm, and the absolute value of $A$, respectively. This inequality provides a refinement of an earlier numerical radius inequality due to Kittaneh, namely, \[ω\left( A \right)\le \frac{1}{2}\left( \left\| A \right\|+{{\left\| {{A}^{2}} \right\|}^{\frac{1}{2}}} \right).\] Some related inequalities are also discussed.
