    Abstract:

Let $ F$ be a Schatten $ p$-operator and $ R,S$ positive operators. We show that the inequality $ vert{F (R+S)^frac1cvert _p}^{hspace{-4.75pt}c} le { vert FR^frac1cvert _p}^{hspace{-4.75pt}c} + {vert FS^frac1cvert _p}^{hspace{-4.75pt}c}$ for the Schatten $ p$-norm $ vertcdot vert _p$ is true for $ p ge c = 1$ and for $ p ge c = 2$, conjecture it to be true for $ p ge c in [1,2]$, give counterexamples for the other cases, and present a numerical study for $ 2 times 2$ matrices. Furthermore, we have a look at a generalisation of the inequality which involves an additional factor $ sigma(c,p)$.
