Abstract:

It is shown that if $N$ and $M$ are normal operators on a separable, complex Hilbert space $H$, and $f$ is a Lipschitz function on $\Omega = \sigma (N) \cup \sigma (M)$ (i.e., $\left | {f(z) - f(w)} \right | \leqslant k\left | {z - w} \right |$ for some positive constant $k$ and all $z,w \in \Omega )$, then ${\left \| {f(N)X - Xf(M)} \right \|_2} \leqslant k{\left \| {NX - XM} \right \|_2}$ for any operator $X$ on $H$. In particular, ${\left \| {f(N) - f(M)} \right \|_2} \leqslant k{\left \| {N - M} \right \|_2}$.
