Abstract

In this work, it is shown that if AA is an nn-by-nn convexoid matrix (i.e., its field of values coincides with the convex hull of its eigenvalues), then the field of any (n1)(n-1)-by-(n1)(n-1) principal submatrix of AA is inscribed in the field of AA, i.e., the field is tangent to every side of the polygon corresponding to the boundary of the field of AA. This result generalizes a special case established by Johnson and Paparella [Amer. Math. Monthly 127 (2020), no. 1,45-53].
