For positive real numbers a,b,a+b≤max{a+b1/2 a1/2,b+a1/2b1/2}.In this note,we generalize this fact to matrices by proving that for positive semidefinite matrices A and B of order n,for any c∈[-1,1]and j=1,2,…,n,sj(A+B)≤sj((A⊕B)+φc(A,B))≤sj(A+|B1/2A1/2|)⊕(B+|A1/2B1/2|),where sj(X)denotes the j-th largest singular value of X andφc(A,B):=1/2((1+c)|B1/2A1/2|(1-c)A1/2B1/2(1-c)B1/2A1/2(1+c)|A1/2B1/2|).This result sharpens some known result.Meanwhile,some related results are established.
