The numerical range and decomposable numerical range of matrices

From MaRDI portal





For a matrix \(A\in\mathbb{C}_{n\times n}\) and \(1\leq m\leq n\), the \(m\)-th decomposable numerical range is the set \(W^ \wedge_ m(A)=\{\text{det}(X^*AX):X\in\mathbb{C}_{n\times m}\), \(\text{det}(X^*X)=1\}\). When \(m=1\), it reduces to the classical numerical range \(W(A)\). The authors study relations between \(W^ \wedge_ m(A)\) and \(W(C_ m(A))\), where \(C_ m(A)\) is the \(m\)-th compound of \(A\). In particular, properties of special boundary points (corners, eigenvalues) are investigated together with the corresponding decompositions of the operator. Sufficient conditions for a matrix \(A\) to be normal are given in terms of the geometric properties of \(W^ \wedge_ m(A)\) and \(W(C_ m(A))\), and characterizations of the matrices \(A\) for which \(W^ \wedge_ m(A)\) or \(W(C_ m(A))\) is a line segment are obtained.
