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…

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.…

It is shown that the numerical range of a linear operator operator in a Hilbert space is a (complete) $(1{+}\sqrt2)$-spectral set. The proof relies, among other things, in the behavior of the Cauchy transform of the conjugates of…

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…

Let $\Omega$ be an open convex domain of the complex plane. We study constants K such that $\Omega$ is K-spectral or complete K-spectral for each continuous linear Hilbert space operator with numerical range included in $\Omega$. Several…

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 spectral properties of a class of non-selfadjoint second order elliptic operators with indefinite weight functions on unbounded domains $\Omega$ are investigated. It is shown that under an abstract regularity assumption the nonreal…

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,…

A bounded set $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ is called a spectral set if the space $L^2(\Omega)$ admits a complete orthogonal system of exponential functions. We prove that a cylindric set $\Omega$ is spectral if and only if its base is a…

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 introduce the numerical spectrum $\sigma_n(A)\subset \mathbb{C}$ of an (unbounded) linear operator $A$ on a Banach space $X$ and study its properties. Our definition is closely related to the numerical range $W(A)$ of $A$ and always…

In this paper we study a partially overdetermined mixed boundary value problem for domains $\Omega$ contained in an unbounded set $\mathcal C$. We introduce the notion of Cheeger set relative to $\mathcal C$ and show that if a domain…

This article is concerned with the approximation of unbounded convex sets by polyhedra. While there is an abundance of literature investigating this task for compact sets, results on the unbounded case are scarce. We first point out the…

In this paper we discuss the relationship between the numerical range of an extensive class of unbounded operator functions and the joint numerical range of the operator coefficients. Furthermore, we derive methods on how to find estimates…

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…

A set $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ is said to be spectral if the space $L^2(\Omega)$ has an orthogonal basis of exponential functions. It is well-known that in many respects, spectral sets "behave like" sets which can tile the space by…

We prove that a bounded linear Hilbert space operator has the unit circle in its essential approximate point spectrum if and only if it admits an orbit satisfying certain orthogonality and almost-orthogonality relations. This result is…

F. Wehrung has asked: Given a family $\mathcal{C}$ of subsets of a set $\Omega$, under what conditions will there exist a total ordering on $\Omega$ under which every member of $\mathcal{C}$ is convex? <p> Note that if $A$ and $B$ are…

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{C}$ be an open set. We show that $\overline{\partial}$ has closed range in $L^{2}(\Omega)$ if and only if the Poincar\'e-Dirichlet inequality holds. Moreover, we give necessary and sufficient potential-theoretic…

We investigate when the algebraic numerical range is a $C$-spectral set in a Banach algebra. While providing several counterexamples based on classical ideas as well as combinatorial Banach spaces, we discuss positive results for matrix…
