Higher–rank Numerical Ranges of Unitary and Normal Matrices

چکیده
We verify a conjecture on the structure of higher-rank numerical ranges for a wide class of unitary and normal matrices. Using analytic and geometric techniques, we show precisely how the higher-rank numerical ranges for a generic unitary matrix are given by complex polygons determined by the spectral structure of the matrix. We discuss applications of the results to quantum error correction, specifically to the problem of identification and construction of codes for binary unitary noise models.

On higher rank numerical hulls of normal matrices
In this paper, some algebraic and geometrical properties of the rank$-k$ numerical hulls of normal matrices are investigated. A characterization of normal matrices whose rank$-1$ numerical hulls are equal to their numerical range is given. Moreover, using the extreme points of the numerical range, the higher rank numerical hulls of matrices of the form $A_1 oplus i A_2$, where $A_1...

Let $(A)$ be a complex $(ntimes n)$ matrix and assume that the numerical range of $(A)$ lies in the set of a sector of half angle $(alpha)$ denoted by $(S_{alpha})$. We prove the numerical ranges of the conjugate, inverse and Schur complement of any order of $(A)$ are in the same $(S_{alpha})$.The eigenvalues of some kinds of matrix product and numerical ranges of hadmard product, star-congruen...

متن کاملSome results on higher numerical ranges and radii of quaternion matrices
Let $n$ and $k$ be two positive integers, $kleq n$ and $A$ be an $n$-square quaternion matrix. In this paper, some results on the $k-$numerical range of $A$ are investigated. Moreover, the notions of $k$-numerical radius, right $k$-spectral radius and $k$-norm of $A$ are introduced, and some of their algebraic properties are studied.
