Throughout this note, an operator will always mean a bounded linear operator acting on a Hilbert space X into itself, unless otherwise stated. The class Cρ (0 < ρ < ∞ ) of operators, considered by Sz.-Nagy and Foiaş [5], is defined as follows: An operator T is in Cρ if Tnx = pPUnx for all xX, n = 1, 2, . . . , where U is a unitary operator on some Hilbert space Y containing X as a subspace, and P is the orthogonal projection of Y onto X. In [2] Holbrook defined the operator radii wρ(·) (0 < ρ ≦ ∞ ) as the generalized Minkowski distance functionals on the Banach algebra of bounded linear operators on X, i.e.,

and w∞(T) = r(T), the spectral radius of T [2, Theorem 5.1].
