For a noisy quantum channel, a quantum error correcting code of dimension k exists if and only if the joint rank-k numerical range associated with the error operators of the channel is non-empty. In this paper, geometric properties of the joint rank k-numerical range are obtained and their implications to quantum computing are discussed. It is shown that for a given k if the dimension of the un...

In the literature it is known that the decomposable numerical range W∧ k (A) of A ∈ Cn×n is not necessarily convex. But it is not known whether W∧ k (A) is star-shaped. We construct a symmetric unitary matrix A ∈ Cn×n such that the decomposable numerical range W∧ k (A) is not star-shaped and hence not simply connected. We then consider a real analog R∧ k (A) and show that R∧ k (A) is star-shape...

In this paper, the notion of rank−k numerical range of rectangular complex matrix polynomials are introduced. Some algebraic and geometrical properties are investigated. Moreover, for > 0, the notion of Birkhoff-James approximate orthogonality sets for −higher rank numerical ranges of rectangular matrix polynomials is also introduced and studied. The proposed definitions yield a natural general...

We prove new enclosures for the spectrum of non-selfadjoint operator matrices associated with second order linear differential equations z̈(t) +Dż(t) +A0z(t) = 0 in a Hilbert space. Our main tool is the quadratic numerical range for which we establish the spectral inclusion property under weak assumptions on the operators involved; in particular, the damping operator only needs to be accretive a...

It is shown that the result of Tso-Wu on the elliptical shape of the numerical range of quadratic operators holds also for the C*-algebra numerical range.

The classical numerical range of a quadratic operator is an elliptical disk. This result is extended to different kinds of generalized numerical ranges. In particular, it is shown that for a given quadratic operator, the rank-k numerical range, the essential numerical range, and the q-numerical range are elliptical disks; the c-numerical range is a sum of elliptical disks, and the Davis-Wieland...

in this paper, the accuracy of k- and k- turbulence models in super sonic boundary layer capturing of smooth/rough flat plates have been comprehensively investigated. among these investigations, some sorts of sensitivity analysis, including change in turbulence model, generated-grid density, near wall affects, c magnitude (for boundary layers generated on smooth flat plates), and change in c...

we give further results for perron-frobenius theory on the numericalrange of real matrices and some other results generalized from nonnegative matricesto real matrices. we indicate two techniques for establishing the main theorem ofperron and frobenius on the numerical range. in the rst method, we use acorresponding version of wielandt's lemma. the second technique involves graphtheory.

Stampfli has shown that for a given T £ B(H) there exists a K £ C(H) so that o(T + K) = ow(T). An analogous result holds for the essential numerical range We(T). A compact operator K is said to preserve the Weyl spectrum and essential numerical range of an operator T £ B(H) if o(T + K) = o„(T) and W(T + K)= We(T). Theorem. For each block diagonal operator T, there exists a compact operator K wh...
