In the sequel, a capital letter denotes a bounded linear operator on a Hilbert space . An operator is said to be positive (denoted by ) if for all .
The Heinz–Kato inequality is an extension of the generalized Cauchy–Schwarz inequality (cf. also Cauchy inequality). It follows from the fact that
is non-negative, where is the polar decomposition of .
The Heinz–Kato inequality (1952; cf. [a4], [a3]): If and are positive operators such that and for all , then the following inequality holds for all :
(a1) |
for all .
It is proved in [a1] that the Heinz–Kato inequality is equivalent to:
(a2) |
for arbitrary positive operators and .
The Heinz inequality yields the Heinz–Kato inequality.
On the other hand, it is shown in [a2] that the Löwner–Heinz inequality is equivalent to the following Cordes inequality (a3), although the first is an operator inequality and the latter is a norm inequality:
(a3) |
for and .
It is well known that the Heinz–Kato inequality (a1) is equivalent to the Löwner–Heinz inequality, so that the Heinz–Kato inequality, the Löwner–Heinz inequality and the Cordes inequality are mutually equivalent.
Additional references can be found in Heinz inequality.
