Abstract

The paper explores further the computation of the quaternionic numerical range of a complex matrix. We prove a modified version of a conjecture by So and Tompson. Specifically, we show that the shape of the quaternionic numerical range for a complex matrix depends on the complex numerical range and two real values. We establish under which conditions the bild of a complex matrix coincides with its complex numerical range and when the quaternionic numerical range is convex.
