in this paper, we introduce the notions of c-numerical range and c-spectrum of matrix polynomials. some algebraic and geometrical properties are investigated. we also study the relationship between the c-numerical range of a matrix polynomial and the joint c-numerical range of its coefficients.

in this note we characterize polynomial numerical hulls of matrices $a in m_n$ such that$a^2$ is hermitian. also, we consider normal matrices $a in m_n$ whose $k^{th}$ power are semidefinite. for such matriceswe show that $v^k(a)=sigma(a)$.
