Abstract: Researchers have identified complex matrices $A$ such that a bounded linear operator $B$ acting on a Hilbert space will admit a dilation of the form $AotimesI$ whenever the numerical range inclusion relation $W(B)subseteqW(A)$ holds. Such an operator $A$ and the identity matrix will span a maximal operator system, i.e., every unital positive map from $mspanI,A,A^{\ast }$ to $calB(calH)$, the algebra of bounded linear operators acting on a Hilbert space $calH$, is completely positive. In this paper, we identify $m$-tuple of matrices $$ such that any $m$-tuple of operators $$ satisfying the joint numerical range inclusion $$ will have a joint dilation of the form $(A_{1}otimesI,dots,A_{m}otimesI)$. Consequently, every unital positive map from $mspanI,A_1,A_1^{\ast },dots,A_m,A_m^{\ast }$ to $calB(calH)$ is completely positive. New results and techniques are obtained relating to the study of numerical range inclusion, dilation, and maximal operator systems.
