On Numerical Radius Bounds Involving Generalized Aluthge Transform

In this paper, we establish some upper bounds of the numerical radius of a bounded linear operator S defined on a complex Hilbert space with polar decomposition S = U ∣ S ∣ , involving generalized Aluthge transform. These bounds generalize some bounds of the numerical radius existing in the literature. Moreover, we consider particular cases of generalized Aluthge transform and give some examples where some upper bounds of numerical radius are computed and analyzed for certain operators.

On Relation between the Joint Essential Spectrum and the Joint Essential Numerical Range of Aluthge Transform

Associated with every commuting m-tuples of operators on a complex Hilbert space X is its Aluthge transform. In this paper we show that every commuting m-tuples of operators on a complex Hilbert space X and its Aluthge transform have the same joint essential spectrum. Further, it is shown that the joint essential spectrum of Aluthge transform is contained in the joint essential numerical range of Aluthge transform.
