Throughout this note, an operator will always mean a bounded linear operator acting on a Hilbert space X into itself, unless otherwise stated. The class Cρ (0 < ρ < ∞ ) of operators, considered by Sz.-Nagy and Foiaş [5], is defined as follows: An operator T is in Cρ if Tnx = pPUnx for all x ∊ X, n = 1, 2, . . . , where U is a unitary operator on some Hilbert space Y containing X as a subspace, and P is the orthogonal projection of Y onto X. In [2] Holbrook defined the operator radii wρ(·) (0 < ρ ≦ ∞ ) as the generalized Minkowski distance functionals on the Banach algebra of bounded linear operators on X, i.e.,and w∞(T) = r(T), the spectral radius of T [2, Theorem 5.1].

Let X and Y be two Banach spaces and let B(X, Y) denote the set of bounded linear operators with domain X and range in 7. For T∈B(X, Y), let N(T) denote the null space and R(T) the range of T. J. I. Nieto [5, p. 64] has proved the following two interesting results. An operator T∈B(X, Y) has a left regularizer, i.e., there exists a Q∈B(Y, X) such that QT=I+A, where I is the identity on X and A∈B(X, X) is a compact operator, if and only if dim N(T)<∞ and R(T) has a closed complement.

For some different types of operators on a Hilbert space, we present new highpower operator inequalities, and their corresponding operator inequalities involving spectral radii of operators. In particular, we show that Halmos' two operator inequalities, Reid's inequality and many others hold easily. In applications we obtain a new generalized classical Löwner inequality; and a slightly generalized Löwner-Heinz inequality is given.
