Refinements of A-numerical radius inequalities and their applications

Abstract

We present sharp lower bounds for the A-numerical radius of semi-Hilbertian space operators. We also present an upper bound. Further we compute new upper bounds for the $B$-numerical radius of $2 \times 2$ operator matrices where $B = \textit{diag}(A,A)$, $A$ being a positive operator. As an application of the A-numerical radius inequalities, we obtain a bound for the zeros of a polynomial which is quite a bit improvement of some famous existing bounds for the zeros of polynomials.
