In this paper, we introduce a new type of parallelism for bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space H , ·, · based on numerical radius. More precisely, we consider operators T and S which satisfy ω(T + λS) = ω(T ) + ω(S) for some complex unit λ. We show that T ω S if and only if there exists a sequence of unit vectors {xn} in H such that lim n→∞ T xn, xn Sxn, xn = ω(T )ω(S).We then apply it to give some applications. z, y x for all z ∈ H . Also, we shall use [x] to denote the linear space spanned by vector x ∈ H .
