Abstract

Let A = \pmatrix A_{11} & A_{12} \cr A_{21} & A_{22}\cr\pmatrix \in M_n, where A11MmA_{11} \in M_m with mn/2m \le n/2, be such that the numerical range of AA lies in the set {eiφz\IC:z(z)tanα}\{e^{i\varphi} z \in \IC: |\Im z| \le (\Re z) \tan \alpha\}, for some φ[0,2π)\varphi \in [0, 2\pi) and α[0,π/2)\alpha \in [0, \pi/2). We obtain the optimal containment region for the generalized eigenvalue λ\lambda satisfying \lambda \pmatrix A_{11} & 0 \cr 0 & A_{22}\cr\pmatrix x = \pmatrix 0 & A_{12} \cr A_{21} & 0\cr\pmatrix x \quad \hbox{for some nonzero} x \in \IC^n, and the optimal eigenvalue containment region of the matrix ImA111A12A221A21I_m - A_{11}^{-1}A_{12} A_{22}^{-1}A_{21} in case A11A_{11} and A22A_{22} are invertible. From this result, one can show det(A)sec2m(α)det(A11)det(A22)|\det(A)| \le \sec^{2m}(\alpha) |\det(A_{11})\det(A_{22})|. In particular, if AA is a accretive-dissipative matrix, then det(A)2mdet(A11)det(A22)|\det(A)| \le 2^m |\det(A_{11})\det(A_{22})|. These affirm some conjectures of Drury and Lin.
