Preface

Roughly speaking two kinds of operator and/or matrix inequalities are known, of course with many important exceptions. Operators admit several natural notions of orders (such as positive semidefiniteness order, some majorization orders and so on) due to their non-commutativity, and some operator inequalities clarify these order relations. There is also another kind of operator inequalities comparing or estimating various quantities (such as norms, traces, determinants and so on) naturally attached to operators. Both kinds are of fundamental importance in many branches of mathematical analysis, but are also sometimes highly non-trivial because of the non-commutativity of the operators involved. This monograph is mainly devoted to means of Hilbert space operators and their general properties with the main emphasis on their norm comparison results. Therefore, our operator inequalities here are basically of the second kind. However, they are not free from the first in the sense that our general theory on means relies heavily on a certain order for operato
