Numerical radius of a pair of operators in Hilbert spaces












6












$begingroup$


Let $(C,D)$ be a pair of bounded linear operators on a complex Hilbert space $E$. The Euclidean operator radius is defined by
$$w_e(C,D)=displaystylesup_{|x|=1}left(|langle Cx,x rangle|^2+|langle Dx,x rangle|^2right)^{1/2}.$$
Moreover, the following inequality holds:
$$frac{sqrt{2}}{4}|C^*C+D^*D|^{1/2}leq w_e(C,D)leq |C^*C+D^*D|^{1/2}.$$



I want to show that the constants $frac{sqrt{2}}{4}$ and $1$ in the above inequalities are the best possible.



For the second inequality, the following example show that we have equality:



Let $(C,D)=(B,B)$, with $B=begin{pmatrix}1&0\0&0end{pmatrix}$ (operator on $(mathbb{C}^2,|cdot|)$). Hence, I get
$w_e(C,D)=sqrt{2}$ and $|C^*C+D^*D|^{1/2}=sqrt{2}.$




I want to find $(C,D)$ such that
$$frac{sqrt{2}}{4}|C^*C+D^*D|^{1/2}= w_e(C,D).$$




For a single operator, we have the following theorem:

Do you think that if $text{Im}(C)perp text{Im}(C^*)$ and $text{Im}(D)perp text{Im}(D^*)$ we have
$$frac{sqrt{2}}{4}|C^*C+D^*D|^{1/2}= w_e(C,D),?$$




Thank you in advance.

          For your first question, consider
          $$ C = D = begin{pmatrix} 0 & 0 \ 1 & 0end{pmatrix}.$$
          Then the LHS of the first inequality reads
          $$ frac{sqrt{2}}{4}| 2begin{pmatrix} 0 & 0 \ 0 & 1end{pmatrix}| = frac{sqrt{2}}{2}. $$
          For the RHS it is
          $$ w_e(C,D) = sqrt{2} sup_{|x|=1} |langle begin{pmatrix}0 \ x_1 end{pmatrix}, begin{pmatrix} x_1\x_2 end{pmatrix}rangle| = sqrt{2} sup_{|x|=1} |x_1x_2| = frac{sqrt{2}}{2}.$$
          For your second question: Consider
          $$ C = begin{pmatrix} 0 & 1 \ 0 & 0 end{pmatrix}, D = begin{pmatrix} 0 & 0 \ 1 & 0 end{pmatrix},$$
          then $Im(C) perp Im(C^ast)$ and $Im(D) perp Im(D^ast)$ but
          $$ frac{sqrt{2}}{4} | CC^ast + DD^ast|^{1/2} = frac{sqrt{2}}{4}, quad w_e(C,D)) = frac{1}{sqrt{2}}.$$

            I think there exits a wrong because we have $$ frac{sqrt{2}}{4}| 2begin{pmatrix} 0 & 0 \ 0 & 1end{pmatrix}|^{1/2}$$ and not $$ frac{sqrt{2}}{4}| 2begin{pmatrix} 0 & 0 \ 0 & 1end{pmatrix}|. $$

          In view of (arXiv):



          Let $(C,D)=(frac{1}{sqrt{2}}A,frac{1}{sqrt{2}}A)$, with $A=begin{pmatrix}0&0\1&0end{pmatrix}$. Hence,
          $$w_e(C,D)=w(A)=frac{1}{2},$$
          but if I don't make wrong in calculus I get
          $$frac{sqrt{2}}{4}|C^*C+D^*D|^{1/2}=frac{sqrt{2}}{4}.$$

            In view of (arXiv):



            Let $(C,D)=(frac{1}{sqrt{2}}A,frac{1}{sqrt{2}}A)$, with $A=begin{pmatrix}0&0\1&0end{pmatrix}$. Hence,
            $$w_e(C,D)=w(A)=frac{1}{2},$$
            but if I don't make wrong in calculus I get
            $$frac{sqrt{2}}{4}|C^*C+D^*D|^{1/2}=frac{sqrt{2}}{4}.$$
