Abstract

Let DD be a bounded convex domain in C\mathbb{C} with a regular analytic boundary. Suppose that the numerical range W(A)W(A) of a bounded linear operator AA is contained in D\overline{D}. If W(A)\overline{W(A)} intersects the boundary D\partial D at infinitely many points while the essential numerical range Wess(A)W_\text{ess}(A) does not intersect D\partial D, then W(A)=DW(A) = \overline{D}. This generalizes some infinite dimensional analogues of a result of Anderson.
