Abstract
We study spectral constants for convex domains containing the spectrum of an operator. We extend the Crouzeix--Palencia framework by obtaining bounds depending on a parameter and relating these bounds to geometric properties of and the numerical range . We generalise the proof that the numerical range is a -spectral set to scaled -numerical ranges. We also propose a generalisation of Crouzeix's Conjecture in the context of -numerical ranges.
