We propose some refinements for the second inequality in $$ \frac{1}{2}\left\Vert A\right\Vert \le w(A)\le \left\Vert A\right\Vert, where A ∈ B(H). In particular, if is hyponormal, then, by refining Young with Kantorovich constant K K(⋅, ⋅), we show that \frac{1}{2{\operatorname{inf}}_{\left\Vert x\right\Vert =1}\zeta (x)}\left|\left\Vert A\right.\right|++\left|\left.{A}^{\ast}\right\Vert \righ...
