A connection between numerical ranges of selfadjoint matrix polynomials

From MaRDI portal





Given a selfadjoint matrix polynomial \(L(\lambda) =A_m \lambda^m+ \cdots +A_1 \lambda +A_0\) with coefficients \(A_i\) being \(n\)-by-\(n\) Hermitian matrices, its numerical range is \(\text{NR} [L (\lambda)] =\{\lambda\;:\;\exists 0\neq x\in \mathbb C^n\), \(x^* L(\lambda) x=0\}\) [see \textit{C. K. Li} and \textit{L. Rodman}, SIAM J. Matrix. Anal. Appl. 15, No. 4, 1256-1265 (1994; Zbl 0814.15023); \textit{J. Maroulas} and \textit{P. Psarrakos}, Linear Algebra Appl. 267, 101-111 (1997; Zbl 0888.15012)]. For an \((m+1)\)-tuple of matrices \(A=(A_0,\dots,A_m)\) its joint numerical range is defined as the set \(\text{JNR} [A] =\{(x^*A_0x,\dots,x^*A_mx)\): \(x\in {\mathbb C^n}\), \(\| x\| =1\}\). The authors study geometric connections between \(\text{NR} [L (\lambda)]\) and \(\text{JNR} [A]\) and algebraic properties for these ranges; e.g., they prove that \(\text{NR} [L (\lambda)]\) is intersection of numerical ranges of all real diagonal matrix polynomials which are defined by the vertices of all convex polyhedra \(K\) including \(\text{JNR} [A]\).
