We define and study a numerical-range analogue of the notion of spectral set. Among the results obtained are a positivity criterion and a dilation theorem, analogous to those already known for spectral sets. An important difference from the…

Crouzeix and Palencia recently showed that the numerical range of a Hilbert-space operator is a $(1+\sqrt2)$-spectral set for the operator. One of the principal ingredients of their proof can be formulated as an abstract functional-analysis…

For a class of $*$-algebras, where $*$-algebra $A_{\Gamma,\tau}$ is generated by projections associated with vertices of graph $\Gamma$ and depends on a parameter $\tau$ $(0 < \tau \leq 1)$, we study the sets $\Sigma_\Gamma$ of values of…

Joint spectra of tuples of operators are subsets in complex projective space. The corresponding tuple of operators can be viewed as an infinite dimensional analog of a determinantal representation of the joint spectrum. We investigate the…

The boundary of a numerical range of a finite matrix is always a nice curve (algebraic, closed and simple), but the equation it satisfies is often very complicated. We will show that, furthermore, there is no hope of describing these curves…

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 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…

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,…

Let $D$ be a bounded convex domain in $\mathbb{C}$ with a regular analytic boundary. Suppose that the numerical range $W(A)$ of a bounded linear operator $A$ is contained in $\overline{D}$. If $\overline{W(A)}$ intersects the boundary…

We consider a normal operator $T$ on a Hilbert space $H$. Under various assumptions on the spectrum of $T$, we give bounds for the spectrum of $T+A$ where $A$ is $T$-bounded with relative bound less than 1 but we do not assume that $A$ is…

By the help of power series f we can naturally construct another power series that has as coefficients the absolute values of the coefficients of f. Utilising these functions we prove some inequalities for the spectral radius of the bounded…

In this paper, we extend Fredholm theory in von Neumann algebras established by Breuer in [5] and [6] to spectral Fredholm theory. We consider 2 by 2 upper triangular operator matrices with coefficients in a von Neumann algebra and give the…

We consider the complex solvable non-commutative two dimensional Lie algebra $L$, $L=<y>\oplus <x>$, with Lie bracket $[x,y]=y$, as linear bounded operators acting on a complex Hilbert space $H$. Under the assumption $R(y)$ closed, we…

Suppose $A=[a_{ij}]\in \mathcal{M}_n(\mathbb{C})$ is a complex $n \times n$ matrix and $B\in \mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H})$ is a bounded linear operator on a complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$. We show that $w(A\otimes B)\leq w(C),$ where…

A polygon is derived that contains the numerical range of a bounded linear operator on a complex Hilbert space, using only norms. In its most general form, the polygon is an octagon, symmetric with respect to the origin, and tangent to the…

We define the independence ratio and the chromatic number for bounded, self-adjoint operators on an L^2-space by extending the definitions for the adjacency matrix of finite graphs. In analogy to the Hoffman bounds for finite graphs, we…

Let $\mathcal{B}(H)$ be the bounded, linear operators on a separable Hilbert space equipped with the norm topology. A property is called typical if the set of operators fulfilling the property is co-meager. We show that having non-empty…

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 $$\omega_{o}(T)\leq||| T|||\leq 2\omega_{o}(T).$$

Computing spectra is a central problem in computational mathematics with an abundance of applications throughout the sciences. However, in many applications gaining an approximation of the spectrum is not enough. Often it is vital to…

Given a subspace $U\subset\mathbb{C}[x_1,\dots,x_n]_d$ we consider the closure of the image of the rational map $\mathbb{P}^{n-1}\dashrightarrow\mathbb{P}^{\dim U-1}$ given by $U$. Its coordinate ring is isomorphic to $\bigoplus_{i\ge 0}…
