Some improvements of numerical radius inequalities of operators and operator matrices

Abstract: We obtain upper bounds for the numerical radius of a product of Hilbert space operators which improve on the existing upper bounds. We generalize the numerical radius inequalities of $n\times n$ operator matrices by using non-negative continuous functions on $[0,\infty)$. We also obtain some upper and lower bounds for the $B$-numerical radius of operator matrices, where $B$ is the diagonal operator matrix whose each diagonal entry is a positive operator $A.$ We show that these bounds generalize and improve on the existing bounds.
