Abstract

In our previous notes, we give a useful characterization of the chaotic order, i.e., logA≥logB for positive invertible operators A and B . In this note, we present a short proof to the characterization of the chaotic order and give an answer to a related problem on it. Moreover we consider the orders defined by Aδ≥B​δ(0<δ<1) as an interpolation between the chaotic order and the usual order via the Furuta inequality.
