A short proof of the elliptical range theorem concerning the numerical range of $2\times2$ complex matrices is given.
Kippenhahn's Theorem asserts that the numerical range of a matrix is the convex hull of a certain algebraic curve. Here, we show that the joint numerical range of finitely many Hermitian matrices is similarly the convex hull of a…
Kippenhahn discovered a real algebraic plane curve whose convex hull is the numerical range of a matrix. The correctness of this theorem was called into question when Chien and Nakazato found an example where the spatial analogue fails.…
The higher rank numerical range is a concept that generalizes the classical numerical range, and it has application in quantum error correction. We investigate these sets for $2$-by-$2$ block matrices with associated Kippenhahn curves…
Kippenhahn discovered that the numerical range of a complex square matrix is the convex hull of a plane real algebraic curve. Here, we present an example of a convex set, which has a similar algebraic description as the numerical range,…
We generalise the Elliptical Range Theorem to characterise the numerical range of matrices belonging to a subspace of the space of \(3 \times 3\) matrices. Using Specht's Theorem, which characterizes when two matrices are unitarily…
Given a natural number $n\geq3$ and two points $a$ and $b$ in the unit disk $\mathbb D$ in the complex plane, it is known that there exists a unique elliptical disk having $a$ and $b$ as foci that can also be realized as the intersection of…
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…
Tridiagonal matrices with constant main diagonal and reciprocal pairs of off-diagonal entries are considered. Conditions for such matrices with sizes up to 6-by-6 to have elliptical numerical ranges are obtained.
We prove, in some cases in term of kippenhahn curve, that if 5-by-5 partial isometry whose numerical range is a circular disc then its center is must be the origin. This gives a partial affirmative answer of the Conjecture 5.1. of [H. l.…
Reciprocal matrices are tridiagonal matrices $(a_{ij})_{i,j=1}^n$ with constant main diagonal and such that $a_{i,i+1}a_{i+1,i}=1$ for $i=1,\ldots,n-1$. For these matrices, criteria are established under which their Kippenhahn curves…
By definition, reciprocal matrices are tridiagonal $n$-by-$n$ matrices $A$ with constant main diagonal and such that $a_{i,i+1}a_{i+1,i}=1$ for $i=1,\ldots,n-1$. For $n\leq 6$, we establish criteria under which the numerical range…
The matricial range of the $2\times2$ matrix $E_{21}$ (i.e., the $2\times 2$ unilateral shift) is described very simply: it consists of all matrices with numerical radius at most $1/2$. The known proofs of this simple statement, however,…
The higher-rank numerical range is a convex compact set generalizing the classical numerical range of a square complex matrix, first appearing in the study of quantum error correction. We will discuss some of the real algebraic and convex…
Conditions are established for rank three partial isometries to have circular components contained in their Kippenhahn curves. In particular, such matrices with circular numerical ranges are described. It is also established that the…
The higher rank numerical ranges of generic matrices are described in terms of the components of their Kippenhahn curves. Cases of tridiagonal (in particular, reciprocal) 2-periodic matrices are treated in more detail.
Eberhard-type theorems are statements about the realizability of a polytope (or more general polyhedral maps) given the valency of its vertices and sizes of its polygonal faces up to a linear linear degree of freedom. We present new…
We prove that two n-by-n matrices A and B have their rank-k numerical ranges $\Lambda_k(A)$ and $\Lambda_k(B)$ equal to each other for all k, $1\le k\le \lfloor n/2\rfloor+1$, if and only if their Kippenhahn polynomials…
We consider the linear elliptic systems or equations in divergence form with periodically oscillating coefficients. We prove the large-scale boundary Lipschitz estimate for the weak solutions in domains satisfying the so-called…
The quaternionic numerical range of matrices over the ring of quaternions is not necessarily convex. We prove Toeplitz-Hausdorff like theorem, that is, for any given quaternionic matrix every section of its quaternionic numerical range is…
