Abstract New upper bounds for the numerical radius of Hilbert space operators are given. Moreover, we give some applications of our result in estimation of spectral radius. We also compare our results with some known results. Keywords  Numerical radius · Norm inequality · Spectral radius Mathematics Subject Classification  Primary 47A12 · 47A30 · Secondary 47B15

1 Introduction and preliminaries Let B(H) denote the C∗-algebra of all bounded linear operators on a complex Hilbert space H with inner product ⟨⋅, ⋅⟩ . For A ∈ B(H) , let

‖A‖ = sup{‖Ax‖ ∶ ‖x‖ = 1}, w(A) = sup{�⟨Ax, x⟩� ∶ ‖x‖ = 1}, r(A) = sup{�𝜆� ∶ 𝜆 ∈ 𝜎(A)},  denote the usual operator norm, the numerical radius and the spectral radius of A, respectively. It is well known that w(⋅) defines a norm on B(H) . This norm is equivalent to the operator norm. In fact, the following more precise result holds

1 ‖A‖ ≤ w(A) ≤ ‖A‖, 2

r(A) ≤ w(A) ≤ ‖A‖.

(1.2)

The inequality (1.1) has been improved considerably by Kittaneh in [5] and [7]. It shows that if A ∈ B(H) , then

w(A) ≤

1 1 1 ‖(�A� + �A∗ �)‖ ≤ (‖A‖ + ‖A2 ‖ 2 ) ≤ ‖A‖, 2 2

(1.3)

and

1 ∗ 1 ‖A A + AA∗ ‖ ≤ w2 (A) ≤ ‖A∗ A + AA∗ ‖. 4 2

(1.4)

Considerable generalizations of the first inequality in (1.3) and the second inequality in (1.4) have been established in [9] for the numerical radius of one operator and for the sum of two operators. A general numerical radius inequality was proved by Kittaneh. It shows in [7] that if A, B, C, D, S, T ∈ B(H) , then

w(ATB + CSD) ≤

‖ 1‖ ‖A|T ∗ |2(1−𝛼) A∗ + B∗ |T|2𝛼 B + C|S∗ |2(1−𝛼) C∗ + D∗ |S|2𝛼 D‖ (1.5) ‖ 2‖ ‖ ‖

In [3], it has been shown that if A ∈ B(H) , then

wr (A) ≤

1 ‖ 2r𝛼 ‖ ‖|A| + |A∗ |2r(1−𝛼) ‖, ‖ 2‖

(1.6)

for r ≥ 1 and 𝛼 ∈ (0, 1) . In [9], Shebrawi and Albadawi extended the inequality (1.5). Let Ai,Bi,Xi ∈ B(H) (i = 1, 2, ..., n) , and let f and g be non-negative functions on [0, ∞) which are continuous and satisfy the relation f (t)g(t) = t for all t ∈ [0, ∞) . Then ( n ) n ‖ ∑ nr−1 ‖ ‖∑([ ∗ 2 (| ∗ |) ]r [ ∗ 2 (| |) ]r )‖ r ∗ Ai g |Xi | Ai + Bi f |Xi | Bi ‖ w Ai Xi Bi ≤ ‖ (1.7) ‖ 2 ‖ i=1 ‖ ‖ i=1 for all r ≥ 1 . In special cases, ( n ) n (( )r )‖ )r ( ∑ nr−1 ‖ 2𝛼 2(1−𝛼) ‖ ‖∑ r ∗ Ai + B∗i ||Xi || Bi A∗i ||Xi∗ || w Ai Xi Bi ≤ ‖, ‖ ‖ ‖ 2 i=1 ‖ ‖ i=1

and

( n ) n ∑ ( ))‖ nr−1 ‖ ‖ ‖∑( 2r (| |) f |Xi | + g2r ||Xi∗ || ‖ w Xi ≤ ‖ ‖ 2 ‖ i=1 i=1 ‖ ‖ r

for all r ≥ 1 and 0 ≤ 𝛼 ≤ 1. In this paper we introduce some refinements of numerical radius inequalities for Hilbert space ope
