Generalizations of the Landau–Hadamard inequality and inequalities for quadratic polynomials of operators

Abstract

SynopsisWe give generalizations of the Landau–Hadamard inequality ‖u′‖2 ≦ K ‖u‖ ‖u″‖ replacing u” by the second-order differential expression u″ − (α + β)u′ + αβu (α, β ∈ ℂ). The new functional inequalities are then used to obtain similar inequalities for dissipative and skew-Hermitian operators.
