Optimal matrices for problems involving the matrix numerical radius often have fields of values that are disks, a phenomenon associated with partial smoothness. Such matrices are highly structured: we experiment in particular with the…
Numerical radius $r(A)$ is the radius of the smallest ball with the center at zero containing the field of values of a given square matrix $A$. It is well known that $r(A)\leq \|A\| \leq 2r(A)$, where $\| \cdot \|$ is the matrix 2-norm.…

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 derive a matrix model, under unitary similarity, of an $n$-by-$n$ matrix $A$ such that $A, A^2, \ldots, A^k$ ($k\ge 1$) are all partial isometries, which generalizes the known fact that if $A$ is a partial isometry, then it is unitarily…
