Several new verifiable conditions are established for block matrices with scalar diagonal blocks to have the numerical range equal the convex hull of at most k ellipses where k by k is the size of the smaller diagonal block. For k = 2,…
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,…
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…

The numerical range of a bounded linear operator on a complex Banach space need not be convex unlike that on a Hilbert space. The aim of this paper is to study operators $T$ on $ \ell^2_p $ for which the numerical range is convex. We also…
It is shown that the result of Tso-Wu on the elliptical shape of the numerical range of quadratic operators holds also for the essential numerical range. The latter is described quantitatively, and based on that sufficient conditions are…
In this paper, we present several sharp upper bounds for the numerical radii of the diagonal and off-diagonal parts of the $2\times2$ block operator matrix $\begin{bmatrix}A&B\\ C&D\end{bmatrix}$. Among extensions of some results of…
A complete description of 4-by-4 matrices $\begin{bmatrix}\alpha I & C \\D & \beta I\end{bmatrix}$, with scalar 2-by-2 diagonal blocks, for which the numerical range is the convex hull of two non-concentric ellipses is given. This result is…
We obtain various upper bounds for the numerical radius $w(T)$ of a bounded linear operator $T$ defined on a complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, by developing the upper bounds for the $\alpha$-norm of $T$, which is defined as…
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…
In this paper, we define a new concept of numerical range $W_{o}(\cdot)$ and prove its basic results. We also define the numerical radius $\omega_{o}(\cdot)$ and prove that $$\omega_{o}(T)\leq||| T|||\leq 2\omega_{o}(T).$$
We describe here the higher rank numerical range, as defined by Choi, Kribs and Zyczkowski, of a normal operator on an infinite dimensional Hilbert space in terms of its spectral measure. This generalizes a result of Avendano for…
We obtain several norm and eigenvalue inequalities for positive matrices partitioned into four blocks. The results involve the numerical range of the off-diagonal block X, especially the distance from 0 to W(X).
Let $E$ be a complex Banach lattice and $T$ is an operator in the centrum $Z(E)=\{T: |T|\le \lambda I \mbox{ for some } \lambda\}$ of $E$. Then the essential norm $\|T\|_{e}$ of $T$ equals the essential spectral radius $r_{e}(T)$ of $T$. We…
