Abstract

In this paper, we discuss how unital positive linear functionals can be used to obtain intervals for the arithmetic mean of extreme eigenvalues of a Hermitian matrix. Furthermore, we derive some intervals for the real numbers and give their interesting applications in matrix theory and polynomial theory.
