Every reducible operator can be decomposed into normal and completely non-normal operators.
Unfortunately, there are several non normal operators which are irreducible. However, every operator
whose self-commutator is bounded, is reducible. Berger-Shaw inequality implies boundedness
of the trace of the self-commutator for hyponormal operators. In this paper, the Berger-Shaw
inequality is studied for n-Power normal, n-power quasinormal and w-hyponormal operators.
