Abstract

Firstly, we will show the following extension of the results on powers of p-hyponormal and log-hyponormal operators: let n and m be positive integers, if T is p-hyponormal for p(0,2], then: (i) in case mp,(Tn+mTn+m)(n+p)/(n+m)(TnTn)(n+p)/n and (TnTn)(n+p)/n(Tn+mTn+m)(n+p)/(n+m) hold, (ii) in case m<p,Tn+mTn+m(TnTn)(n+m)/n and (TnTn)(n+m)/nTn+mTn+m hold. Secondly, we will show an estimation on powers of p-hyponormal operators for p>0 which implies the best possibility of our results. Lastly, we will show a parallel estimation on powers of log-hyponormal operators as follows: let α>1, then the following hold for each positive integer n and m: (i) there exists a log-hyponormal operator T such that (Tn+mTn+m)nα/(n+m)(TnTn)α , (ii) there exists a log-hyponormal operator T such that (TnTn)α(Tn+mTn+m)nα/(n+m).
