This paper studies the level set Crouzeix conjecture, which is a weak version of Crouzeix's conjecture that applies to finite compressions of the shift. Amongst other results, this paper establishes the level set Crouzeix conjecture for…

For a matrix $A$ which satisfies Crouzeix's conjecture, we construct several classes of matrices from $A$ for which the conjecture will also hold. We discover a new link between cyclicity and Crouzeix's conjecture, which shows that…

M. Crouzeix formulated the following conjecture in (Integral Equations Operator Theory 48, 2004, 461--477): For every square matrix $A$ and every polynomial $p$, $$ \|p(A)\| \le 2 \max_{z\in W(A)}|p(z)|, $$ where $W(A)$ is the numerical…

In [{\em The Numerical Range is a $(1 + \sqrt{2})$-Spectral Set}, SIAM J. Matrix Anal. Appl. 38 (2017), pp.~649-655], Crouzeix and Palencia show that the numerical range of a square matrix or linear operator $A$ is a $(1 +…

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…

We prove that the PPT$^2$ conjecture holds for linear maps between matrix algebras which are covariant under the action of the diagonal unitary group. Many salient examples, like the Choi-type maps, depolarizing maps, dephasing maps,…

We study spectral constants for convex domains $\Omega$ containing the spectrum of an operator. We extend the Crouzeix--Palencia framework by obtaining bounds depending on a parameter $\gamma$ and relating these bounds to geometric…

In an attempt to progress towards proving the conjecture the numerical range W (A) is a 2--spectral set for the matrix A, we propose a study of various constants. We review some partial results, many problems are still open. We describe our…

We introduce a new infinite family of $d\times 2d$ equiangular tight frames. Many matrices in this family consist of two $d\times d$ circulant blocks. We conjecture that such equiangular tight frames exist for every $d$. We show that our…

In this paper we report on new results relating to a conjecture regarding properties of $n\times n$, $n\leq 6$, positive definite matrices. The conjecture has been proven for $n\leq 4$ using computer-assisted sum of squares (SoS) methods…

The main purpose of this paper is to give a solution to a conjecture concerning a Pad\'{e} family of iterations for the matrix sector function that was recently raised by B. Laszkiewicz et al in [A Pad\'{e} family of iterations for the…

The paper explores further the computation of the quaternionic numerical range of a complex matrix. We prove a modified version of a conjecture by So and Tompson. Specifically, we show that the shape of the quaternionic numerical range for…

We provide numerical bounds on the Crouzeix ratiofor KLS matrices $A$ which have a line segment on the boundary of the numerical range. The Crouzeix ratio is the supremum over all polynomials $p$ of the spectral norm of $p(A)$ dividedby the…

In 2010, Eun-Young Lee conjectured that if $A,B$ are two $n\times n$ complex matrices and $\left|A\right|, \left|B\right|$ are the absolute values of $A, B$, respectively, then \[ \|A+B\|_F\le…

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 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…

A linear map between matrix algebras corresponds to the Choi matrix in the tensor product of two matrix algebras, whose definition depends on the matrix units. Paulsen and Shultz [J. Math. Phys. {\bf 54} (2013), 072201] considered the…
