Abstract

Let T be an operator on a Hilbert space \( \mathcal{H} \). The problem of computing of the norm of T, norm of selfcommutators of T, and the numerical radius of T are discussed in many papers and a number of textbooks. In this paper we determine the relationships between these values for self inverse operators and explain how we can determine any three of these (‖T‖, ‖[T*,T]‖, ‖{T*,T}‖, and the numerical radius of T) by knowing any one of them. Also, we find the spectrum of T*T,[T*,T] and {T*,T} in the case that T is self inverse and the spectrum of T*T is an interval. Finally, by giving some examples on automorphic composition operators, we show that these results make it possible to replace lengthy computation with quick ones.
