Let AA and BB be positive self-adjoint operators on a complex Hilbert space HH. Prove that lim sup⁡n→∞∥Anx∥1/n≤lim sup⁡n→∞∥Bnx∥1/n\limsup_{n \to \infty} \|A^n x\|^{1/n} \le \limsup_{n \to \infty} \|B^n x\|^{1/n} holds for every x∈Hx \in H if and only if An≤BnA^n \le B^n for each positive integer nn.
