We consider problems associated with the computation of spectra of self-adjoint operators in terms of the eigenvalue distributions of their n x n sections. Under rather general circumstances, we show how these eigenvalues accumulate near…

We prove that the closure of the numerical range of a $(n+1)$-periodic and $(2m+1)$-banded Toeplitz operator can be expressed as the closure of the convex hull of the uncountable union of numerical ranges of certain symbol matrices. In…

The numerical range in the quaternionic setting is, in general, a non convex subset of the quaternions. The essential numerical range is a refinement of the numerical range that only keeps the elements that have, in a certain sense,…

In this paper we introduce an enclosure of the numerical range of a class of rational operator functions. In contrast to the numerical range the presented enclosure can be computed exactly in the infinite dimensional case as well as in the…

In this paper we show that the closure of the numerical range of an $n+1$-periodic tridiagonal operator is equal to the numerical range of a $2(n+1)\times 2(n+1)$ complex matrix.

Motivated by applications in quantum information and quantum control, a new type of $C$"-numerical range, the relative $C$"-numerical range denoted $W_K(C,A)$, is introduced. It arises upon replacing the unitary group U(N) in the definition…

Let H be a complex Hilbert space of dimension no less than 2 and B(H) be the algebra of all bounded linear operators on H. We give the form of surjective maps on B(H) preserving c-numerical range of operator products when the maps satisfy…

In this paper, we define a new concept of numerical range $W_{o}(\cdot)$ and prove its basic results. We also define the numerical radius $\omega_{o}(\cdot)$ and prove that $$\omega_{o}(T)\leq||| T|||\leq 2\omega_{o}(T).$$

A presentation of numerical range for rectangular matrices is undertaken in this paper, introducing two different definitions and elaborating basic properties. Then we are extended to the treatment of rank-k numerical range.

We introduce and investigate the orbit-closed $C$-numerical range, a natural modification of the $C$-numerical range of an operator introduced for $C$ trace-class by Dirr and vom Ende. Our orbit-closed $C$-numerical range is a conservative…

For a square matrix, the range of its Rayleigh quotients is known as the numerical range, which is a compact and convex set by the Toeplitz-Hausdorff theorem. The largest value and the smallest boundary value (in magnitude) of this convex…

We define the (convex) joint numerical range for an infinite family of compact operators in a Hilbert space H. We use this set to determine whether a self-adjoint compact operator A with {||A||, -||A||} in its spectrum is minimal respect to…

Numerical range of a Hermitian operator X is defined as the set of all possible expectation values of this observable among a normalized quantum state. We analyze a modification of this definition in which the expectation value is taken…

In this paper we derive an explicit formula for the numerical range of (non-self-adjoint) tridiagonal random operators. As a corollary we obtain that the numerical range of such an operator is always the convex hull of its spectrum, this…
