Abstract: Let $ f(t)$ be a nonnegative concave function on $ 0 \leq t <\infty $ with $ f(0)=0$, and let $ X, Y$ be $ n\times n$ matrices. Then it is known that $ \Vert f(\vert X+Y\vert)\Vert_1\leq \Vert f(\vert X\vert)\Vert_1 +\Vert f(\vert Y\vert)\Vert_1$, where $ \Vert \cdot \Vert_1$ is the trace norm. We extend this result to all unitarily invariant norms and prove some inequalities of eigenvalue sums.
