A short proof of the elliptical range theorem concerning the numerical range of $2\times2$ complex matrices is given.
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…
The elliptical range theorem asserts that the field of values (or numerical range) of a two-by-two matrix with complex entries is an elliptical disk, the foci of which are the eigenvalues of the given matrix. Many proofs of this result are…
In this paper, we generalize the notion of the $C$-numerical range of a matrix to operators in arbitrary tracial von Neumann algebras. For each self-adjoint operator $C$, the $C$-numerical range of such an operator is defined; it is a…
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,…
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…
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 an $n\times n$ complex matrix $C$, the $C$-numerical range of a bounded linear operator $T$ acting on a Hilbert space of dimension at least $n$ is the set of complex numbers ${\rm tr}(CX^*TX)$, where $X$ is a partial isometry satisfying…
In this article, we are going to introduce the weighted numerical range which is a further generalization both the c-numerical range and the rank k numerical range. If the boundaries of weighted numerical ranges of two matrices (possibly of…
A presentation of numerical range for rectangular matrices is undertaken in this paper, introducing two different definitions and elaborating basic properties. Then we are extended to the treatment of rank-k numerical range.
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…
Motivated by applications in quantum information and quantum control, a new type of $C$"-numerical range, the relative $C$"-numerical range denoted $W_K(C,A)$, is introduced. It arises upon replacing the unitary group U(N) in the definition…
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…
We extend the proof in [M.~Crouzeix and C.~Palencia, {\em The numerical range is a $(1 + \sqrt{2})$-spectral set}, SIAM Jour.~Matrix Anal.~Appl., 38 (2017), pp.~649-655] to show that other regions in the complex plane are $K$-spectral sets.…
We consider the elliptical range theorems for the Davis--Wielandt shell, the numerical range, and the conformal range in terms of and related to their quadratic representations. The emphasis is on exposing a variety of elementary…
Suppose that c is an operator on a Hilbert Space H such that the von Neumann algebra N generated by c is finite. Suppose that tau is a faithful normal tracial state on N. Let B denote the spectal scale of c with respect to tau. We show that…
There has been considerable recent literature connecting Poncelet's theorem to ellipses, Blaschke products and numerical ranges, summarized, for example, in the recent book [11]. We show how those results can be understood using ideas from…
In this paper we give an alternative proof that the family of matrices studied by Daeshik Choi in A proof of Crouzeix's conjecture for a class of matrices, Linear Algebra and its Applications, 438, no. 8 (2013), pp. 3247-3257, satisfy…
We study the relation between the intrinsic and the spatial numerical ranges with the recently introduced "approximated" spatial numerical range. As main result, we show that the intrinsic numerical range always coincides with the convex…
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…
