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…

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…

We show that the set of all possible constant diagonals of a bounded Hilbert space operator is always convex. This, in particular, answers an open question of J.-C. Bourin ($2003$). Moreover, we show that the joint numerical range of a…

In infinite dimensions and on the level of trace-class operators $C$ rather than matrices, we show that the closure of the $C$-numerical range $W_C(T)$ is always star-shaped with respect to the set $\operatorname{tr}(C)W_e(T)$, where…

Let $\mathcal{H}_1,\ldots,\mathcal{H}_n,\mathcal{H}$ be complex Hilbert spaces and $A_k:\mathcal{H}_k\to\mathcal{H}$ be a bounded linear operator with the closed range $Ran(A_k)$, $k=1,\ldots,n$. It is known that if $A_i^*A_j$ is compact…

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…

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,…

We investigate the generalized quadratic operator defined by $$T =\left( \begin{array}{cc} a I_H & A \\ c A^* & bI_K \end{array} \right) ,$$ where $H$ and $K$ are Hilbert spaces, $A:K\to H$ is a bounded linear operator, $I_H$ and $I_K$…

Suppose that c is a linear operator acting on an n-dimensional complex Hilbert Space H, and let tau denote the normalized trace on B(H). Set b_1 = (c+c*)/2 and b_2 = (c-c*)/2i, and write B for the the spectral scale of {b_1, b_2} with…

Let $H$ be a separable Hilbert space with a fixed orthonormal basis. Let $\mathbb B^{(k)}(H)$ denote the set of operators, whose matrices have no more than $k$ non-zero entries in each line and in each column. The closure of the union (over…

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…
