The paper considers some new properties of the so-called $A$-maximal numerical range of operators, denoted by $W_{\max}^A(\cdot)$, where $A$ is a positive bounded linear operator acting on a complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$. Some…

We introduce and carefully study a natural probability measure over the numerical range of a complex matrix $A \in M_n(\C)$. This numerical measure $\mu_A$ can be defined as the law of the random variable $<AX,X> \in \C$ when the vector $X…

The conformal range (or the real Davis--Wielandt shell), which is a particular planar projection of the Davis--Wielandt shell, can be considered as the hyperbolic version of the numerical range; i. e. it is a ``field of values'' which can…

For a given set of $n\times n$ matrices $\mathcal F$, we study the union of the $C$-numerical ranges of the matrices in the set $\mathcal F$, denoted by $W_C({\mathcal F})$. We obtain basic algebraic and topological properties of…

We study the Davis-Wielandt shell and the Davis-Wielandt radius of an operator on a normed linear space $\mathcal{X}$. We show that after a suitable modification, the modified Davis-Wielandt radius defines a norm on…

Using the fact that the normalised matrix trace is the unique linear functional $f$ on the algebra of $n\times n$ matrices which satisfies $f(I)=1$ and $f(AB)=f(BA)$ for all $n\times n$ matrices $A$ and $B$, we derive a well-known formula…

The connection between the commutativity of a family of $n\times n$ matrices and the generalized joint numerical ranges is studied. For instance, it is shown that ${\cal F}$ is a family of mutually commuting normal matrices if and only if…

The higher rank numerical range is closely connected to the construction of quantum error correction code for a noisy quantum channel. It is known that if a normal matrix $A \in M_n$ has eigenvalues $a_1, \..., a_n$, then its higher rank…

Let $A\in\mathbb{C}^{n\times n}$ be a normal matrix with spectrum $\{\lambda_{i}\}_{i=1}^{n}$, and let $\widetilde{A}=A+E\in\mathbb{C}^{n\times n}$ be a perturbed matrix with spectrum $\{\widetilde{\lambda}_{i}\}_{i=1}^{n}$. If…

Let $\mathcal{H}_n$ be the set of all $n\times n$ Hermitian matrices and $\mathcal{H}^m_n$ be the set of all $m$-tuples of $n\times n$ Hermitian matrices. For $A=(A_1,...,A_m)\in \mathcal{H}^m_n$ and for any linear map…

In this paper we generalize the concept of Davis-Wielandt shell of operators on a Hilbert space when a semi-inner product induced by a positive operator $A$ is considered. Moreover, we investigate the parallelism of $A$-bounded operators…

In [{\em The Numerical Range is a $(1 + \sqrt{2})$-Spectral Set}, SIAM J. Matrix Anal. Appl. 38 (2017), pp.~649-655], Crouzeix and Palencia show that the numerical range of a square matrix or linear operator $A$ is a $(1 +…

A $n\times n$ matrix $A$ has normal defect one if it is not normal, however can be embedded as a north-western block into a normal matrix of size $(n+1)\times (n+1)$. The latter is called a minimal normal completion of $A$. A construction…

Let $(A, \|\cdot\|)$ be any normed algebra (not necessarily complete nor unital). Let $a \in A$ and let $V_A(a)$ denote the spatial numerical range of $a$ in $(A, \|\cdot\|)$. Let $A_e = A + {\mathbb C} 1$ be the unitization of $A$. If $A$…

Given a normal matrix $A$ and an arbitrary square matrix $B$ (not necessarily of the same size), what relationships between $A$ and $B$, if any, guarantee that $B$ is also a normal matrix? We provide an answer to this question in terms of…

In this paper we explore the relation between the $A$-numerical range and the $A$-spectrum of $A$-bounded operators in the setting of semi-Hilbertian structure. We introduce a new definition of $A$-normal operator and prove that closure of…

We consider matrix products of the form $A_1(A_2A_2)^\top\ldots(A_{m}A_{m}^\top)A_{m+1}$, where $A_i$ are normalized random Fourier-Walsh matrices. We identify an interesting polynomial scaling regime when the operator norm of the expected…

Results on matrix canonical forms are used to give a complete description of the higher rank numerical range of matrices arising from the study of quantum error correction. It is shown that the set can be obtained as the intersection of…
