Abstract: In [{em The Numerical Range is a (1+sqrt2)-Spectral Set}, SIAM J. Matrix Anal. Appl. 38 (2017), pp.~649-655], Crouzeix and Palencia show that the numerical range of a square matrix or linear operator A is a (1+sqrt2)-spectral set for A; that is, for any function f analytic in the interior of the numerical range W(A) and continuous on its boundary, the inequality |f(A)|leq(1+sqrt2)|f|W(A) holds, where the norm on the left is the operator 2-norm and |f|W(A) on the right denotes the supremum of |f(z)| over zinW(A). In this paper, we show how the arguments in their paper can be extended to show that other regions in the complex plane that do {em not} necessarily contain W(A) are K-spectral sets for a value of K that may be close to 1+sqrt2. We also find some special cases in which the constant (1+sqrt2) for W(A) can be replaced by 2, which is the value conjectured by Crouzeix.
