The normalized numerical range and the Davis-Wielandt shell

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: For a given n-by-n matrix A, its {em normalized numerical range} FN(A) is defined as the range of the function fN,Acolonxmapsto(x∗Ax)/(ormAxcdotormx) on the complement of kerA. We provide an explicit description of this set for the case when A is normal or n=2. This extension of earlier results for particular cases of 2-by-2 matrices (by Gevorgyan) and essentially Hermitian matrices of arbitrary size (by A. Stoica and one of the authors) was achieved due to the fresh point of view at FN(A) as the image of the Davis-Wielandt shell JNR(A) under a certain non-linear mapping hcolonR3mapstoC.
