A Note on the Carath\'{e}odory Number of the Joint Numerical Range

Functional Analysis 2024-09-10 v1

Abstract

We show that the Carath\'{e}odory number of the joint numerical range of dd many bounded self-adjoint operators is at most d1d-1, and even at most d2d-2 if the underlying Hilbert space has dimension at least 33. This extension of the classical convexity results for numerical ranges shows that also joint numerical ranges are significantly less non-convex than general sets.
