Corners of numerical ranges

From MaRDI portal





A boundary point \(\alpha\) of a subset \(W\) in \({\mathbb C}\) is called a corner of \(W\) if for some \(\epsilon >0\) and \(\varphi\in[0, 2\pi)\) there exists a \(\psi \in[0, \pi)\) such that \(\varphi\leq \arg(\lambda -\alpha)\leq \varphi+\psi \) for all \(\lambda \in W\), \(|\lambda -\alpha |<\epsilon\). The authors consider the corners of the numerical range \(W({\mathcal L})\) of an analytic operator function \({\mathcal L}: {\mathcal D}\to L({\mathcal H})\) defined on a domain \({\mathcal D}\subset {\mathbb C}\) with values in the set \(L({\mathcal H})\) of all bounded linear operators in a Hilbert space \({\mathcal H}\), and the corners of the quadratic numerical range \(W^2({\mathcal A})\) of a block operator matrix \({\mathcal A}\in L({\mathcal H})\), with respect to a given decomposition \({\mathcal H}={\mathcal H}_1\cap {\mathcal H}_2\). For a bounded linear operator \(T\) in a Hilbert space it is well-known that a corner \(\lambda _0\) of the numerical range \(W(T)\) which belongs to \(W(T)\) is an eigenvalue of \(T\). Moreover, any corner of \(W(T)\) belongs to the spectrum of \(T\). In this paper corresponding results for the corners of \(W({\mathcal L})\) and \(W^2({\mathcal A})\) are proved.
