We prove that $$f^{\\prime}(0)(A \\sigma B)\\leq \\frac{f(m)}{m}(A\\sigma B)\\leq f(A)\\sigma f(B)\\leq \\frac{f(M)}{M}(A\\sigma B)\\leq f^{\\prime}(M)(A\\sigma B),$$ where $m$ is the smallest among eigenvalues of $A$ and $B$ and $M$ is the largest among eigenvalues of $A$ and $B$. If $f$ is differentiable concave, then the reverse inequalities hold. We use our result to improve some known subadditivity inequalities involving unitarily invariant norms under some mild conditions. In particular, if $f(x)/x$ is increasing, then $$|||f(A)+f(B)|||\\leq\\frac{f(M)}{M} |||A+B|||\\leq |||f(A+B)|||$$ holds for all $A$ and $B$ with $M\\leq A+B$. Furthermore, we apply our results to explore some related inequalities. As an application, we present a generalization of Minkowski's determinant inequality.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-02-16T07:34:44.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "15A60", "15A42" ], "keywords": [ "matrix inequalities", "minkowskis determinant inequality", "positive definite complex matrices", "reverse inequalities hold", "matrix mean" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
