Abstract
Let T be a compact operator on a Hilbert space such that the operators A = 1/2(T + T*) and B = 1/2i(T - T*) are positive. Let {sj} be the singular values of T and {αj}, {βj} the eigenvalues of A, B, all enumerated in decreasing order. We show that the sequence {sj2} is majorised by {αj2 + βj2}. An important consequence is that, when p ≥ 2, ∥T∥p2 is less than or equal to ∥A∥p2 + ∥B∥p2, and when 1 ≤ p ≤ 2, this inequality is reversed.
