Let $B$ be some invertible Hermitian or skew-Hermitian matrix. A matrix $A$ is called $B$-normal if $AA^\star = A^\star A$ holds for $A$ and its adjoint matrix $A^\star := B^{-1}A^HB$. In addition, a matrix $Q$ is called $B$-unitary, if…

For a given $n$-by-$n$ matrix $A$, its {\em normalized numerical range} $F_N(A)$ is defined as the range of the function $f_{N,A}\colon x\mapsto (x^*Ax)/(\norm{Ax}\cdot\norm{x})$ on the complement of $\ker A$. We provide an explicit…

In this paper, we present new results relating the numerical range of a matrix $A$ with generalized Levinger transformation $\mathcal{L}(A,\alpha,\beta) = \alphaH_A +\betaS_A$, where $H_A$ and $S_A$, are respectively the Hermitian and…

The joint numerical range $W(F)$ of three hermitian $3$-by-$3$ matrices $F=(F_1,F_2,F_3)$ is a convex and compact subset in $\mathbb{R}^3$. Generically we find that $W(F)$ is a three-dimensional oval. Assuming $\dim(W(F))=3$, every one- or…

Let ${\bf A} = (A_1, \dots, A_m)$ be an $m$-tuple of bounded linear operators acting on a Hilbert space ${\cal H}$. Their joint $(p,q)$-matricial range $\Lambda_{p,q}({\bf A})$ is the collection of $(B_1, \dots, B_m) \in {\bf M}_q^m$, where…

Let $A\in \mathbb{R}^{N\times N}$ and $\mathrm{SO}_n:=\{ U \in \mathbb{R}^{N \times N}:UU^t=I_n,\det U>0\}$ be the set of $n\times n$ special orthogonal matrices. Define the (real) special orthogonal orbit of $A$ by \[…

In this article, we are going to search for $n\times n$ matrices $A$ and $B$ such that their generalized numerical range $$W_A(B)=\{tr(AU^*BU) \ :\ U^*U=UU^*=I\}$$ is convex. More specifically, we consider $A=\hat{A}\oplus I_k$ and…

A list $\Lambda =\{\lambda _{1},\ldots ,\lambda _{n}\}$ of complex numbers (repeats allowed) is said to be \textit{realizable} if it is the spectrum of an entrywise nonnegative matrix $A$. $\Lambda $ is \textit{diagonalizably realizable} if…

We generalize the $C$-numerical range $W_C(T)$ from trace-class to Schatten-class operators, i.e. to $C\in\mathcal B^p(\mathcal H)$ and $T\in\mathcal B^q(\mathcal H)$ with $1/p + 1/q = 1$, and show that its closure is always star-shaped…

We draw attention to the fact that a Hermitian matrix is always diagonalizable and has real discrete spectrum whereas the Hermitian Schr{\"o}dinger Hamiltonian: $H=p^2/2\mu+V(x)$, may not be so. For instance when $V(x)=x, x^3, -x^2$, $H$…
