A Matrix Inequality for positive definite matrices

Let $X$ and $Y$ be positive semi-definite self-adjoint complex matrices of same finite order. The, is it true that $|X-Y|\leq X+Y$ where for any matrix $A$, $|A|$ is defined to be $|A|:=(A^*A)^{\frac{...

On the Lowener-Heinz inequality

I know that for two symmetric positive semi-definite (non-diagonal) matrices $A,B$, the inequality asserts that the following does not hold for all $p > 1$ $$A \succeq B \succeq 0 \Rightarrow A^p \...
