The numerical range of nonlinear Banach space operators (Q5906507)

The author defines and studies a numerical range for nonlinear operators in Banach spaces which generalizes \textit{E. H. Zarantonello's} definition for Hilbert space operators [Pac. J. Math. 22, 575-595 (1967; Zbl 0152.346)]. It is shown, in particular, that the spectrum of a generalized Lipschitz operator is contained in the closed convex hull of its numerical range.
