Let A and B be $ n\times n $ n × n positive semidefinite matrices, $ f:[0,\infty)\rightarrow \lbrack 0,\infty) $ f : [ 0 , ∞) → [ 0 , ∞) be an increasing convex function with $ f\left (0\right) =0 $ f (0) = 0 , and let $ \Phi : \mathbb {M}_{n}(\mathbb {C})\rightarrow \mathbb {M}_{n}(\mathbb {C}) $ Φ : M n (C) → M n (C) be a positive unital linear map. It is shown that $$\begin{align*} & \prod_{j=1}^{k} s_{j}\left(f^{4}\left(\Phi \left(\frac{A+B}{2}\right) \right) \right)\\ & \quad \leq 2^{-4} \prod_{j=1}^{k} \left(s_{j}\left(\Phi^{2}\left(f^{2}\left(A\right) \right) +\Phi \left(f^{2}\left(A\right) \right) \right) +\left\Vert \Phi \left(f^{2}\left(B\right) \right) \right\Vert +1\right) \\ & \quad\quad \times \left(s_{j}\left(\Phi^{2}\left(f^{2}\left(B\right) \right) +\Phi \left(f^{2}\left(B\right) \right) \right) +\left\Vert \Phi \left(f^{2}\left(A\right) \right) \right\Vert +1\right) \end{align*}$$ ∏ j = 1 k s j (f 4 (Φ (A + B 2))) ≤ 2 − 4 ∏ j = 1 k (s j (Φ 2 (f 2 (A)) + Φ (f 2 (A))) + ‖ Φ (f 2 (B)) ‖ + 1) × (s j (Φ 2 (f 2 (B)) + Φ (f 2 (B))) + ‖ Φ (f 2 (A)) ‖ + 1) for $ k=1,2,\ldots,n $ k = 1 , 2 , ... , n , where $ s_{j}\left (T\right) $ s j (T) and $ \left \Vert T\right \Vert $ ‖ T ‖ are the $ j{\rm th} $ j th singular value and the spectral norm of T, respectively. Applications of our results to sectorial matrices are given. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this paper is to establish new log-majorization results concerning eigenvalues and singular values which generalize some previous work related to a conjecture and an open question which were presented by Lemos and Soares in 2018. In addition, we present a complement of a unitarily invariant norm inequality which was conjectured by Bhatia, Lim and Yamazaki in 2016, and recently proved by Dinh, Dumitru and Franco in 2017 for the Schatten p-norm with 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞.

We present a characterization of eigenvalue inequalities between two Hermitian matrices by means of inertia indices. As applications, we deal with some classical eigenvalue inequalities for Hermitian matrices, including the Cauchy interlacing theorem and the Weyl inequality, in a simple and unified approach. We also give a common generalization of eigenvalue inequalities for (Hermitian) normalized Laplacian matrices of simple (signed, weighted, directed) graphs. Our approach is also suitable for Hermitian matrices of the second kind of digraphs recently introduced by Mohar. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
