Abstract In this paper, we discuss new inequalities for accretive matrices through nonstandard domains. In particular, we present several relations for Ar and A♯r B , when A,  B are accretive and r ∈ (−1, 0) ∪ (1, 2). This complements the well-established discussion of such quantities for accretive matrices when r ∈ [0, 1], and provides accretive versions of known results for positive matrices. Among many other results, we show that the accretive matrices A, B satisfy

ℜ(A♯r B) ≤ ℜA♯r ℜB, r ∈ (−1, 0) ∪ (1, 2). This, and other results, gain their significance due to the fact that they are reversed when r ∈ (0, 1).

A = ℜA + iℑA, with ℜA =

A − A∗ A + A∗ and ℑA = , 2 2i

where ℜA is the real part of A and ℑA is the imaginary part of A. We say that A is positive semidefinite (written A ≥ 0 ) if ⟨Ax, x⟩ ≥ 0 for all vectors x ∈ ℂn , and that A is positive (written A > 0 ) if ⟨Ax, x⟩ > 0 for all nonzero vectors x ∈ ℂn . The class of positive matrices will be denoted by M+n . A more general class of matrices than that of positive ones is the so-called accretive matrices. A matrix A ∈ Mn is said to be accretive when ℜA > 0. It is clear that when A is positive, it is necessarily accretive. For two Hermitian matrices A, B ∈ Mn , we say that A ≤ B (or A < B ) if B − A ≥ 0 (or B − A > 0 ). The relation A ≤ B defines a partial ordering on the class of Hermitian matrices. The numerical radius w(A) and the operator norm ‖A‖ of A ∈ Mn are defined, respectively, by and

w(A) = max{�⟨Ax, x⟩� ∶ x ∈ ℂn , ‖x‖ = 1}

‖A‖ = max{�⟨Ax, y⟩� ∶ x, y ∈ ℂn , ‖x‖ = ‖y‖ = 1}.

Recall that a norm ||| ⋅ ||| on Mn is unitarily invariant if |||UAV||| = |||A||| for any A ∈ Mn and for all unitary matrices U, V ∈ Mn. For two matrices A, B ∈ M+n  , the weighted geometric mean of A and B is defined as [9] ( 1 )r 1 1 1 A♯r B = A 2 A− 2 BA− 2 A 2 , where 0 ≤ r ≤ 1. (1.1) This matrix mean is one among many well-defined matrix means. Other known and easily defined matrix means are the arithmetic and harmonic means for A, B ∈ M+n  , defined, respectively by

A∇r B = (1 − r)A + rB, A!r B = ((1 − r)A−1 + rB−1 )−1 , r ∈ [0, 1].
