Abstract
We define the complete numerical radius norm for homomorphisms from any operator algebra into , and show that this norm can be computed explicitly in terms of the completely bounded norm. This is used to show that if is a complete -spectral set for an operator , then it is a complete -numerical radius set, where . In particular, in view of Crouzeix's theorem, there is a universal constant (less than 5.6) so that if is a matrix polynomial and , then . When , we have .
