The numerical range of non-negative operators in Krein spaces

Functional Analysis 2012-08-16 v1

Abstract

We define and characterize the Krein space numerical range W(A)W(A) and the Krein space co-numerical range Wco(A)W_{\rm co}(A) of a non-negative operator AA in a Krein space. It is shown that the non-zero spectrum of AA is contained in the closure of W(A)Wco(A)W(A)\cap W_{\rm co}(A).
