Extensions of the operator Bellman and operator Holder type inequalities

Abstract

In this paper, we employ the concept of operator means as well as some operator techniques to establish new operator Bellman and operator H\"{o}lder type inequalities. Among other results, it is shown that if $\mathbf{A}=(A_t)_{t\in \Omega}$ and $\mathbf{B}=(B_t)_{t\in \Omega}$ are continuous fields of positive invertible operators in a unital $C^*$-algebra ${\mathscr A}$ such that $\int_{\Omega}A_t\,d\mu(t)\leq I_{\mathscr A}$ and $\int_{\Omega}B_t\,d\mu(t)\leq I_{\mathscr A}$, and if $\omega_f$ is an arbitrary operator mean with the representing function $f$, then \begin{align*} \left(I_{\mathscr A}-\int_{\Omega}(A_t \omega_f B_t)\,d\mu(t)\right)^p \geq\left(I_{\mathscr A}-\int_{\Omega}A_t\,d\mu(t)\right) \omega_{f^p}\left(I_{\mathscr A}-\int_{\Omega}B_t\,d\mu(t)\right) \end{align*} for all $0 < p \leq 1$, which is an extension of the operator Bellman inequality.
