let $p(lambda)$ be an $n$-square complex matrix polynomial, and $1 leq k leq n$ be a positive integer. in this paper, some algebraic and geometrical properties of the $k$-numerical range of $p(lambda)$ are investigated. in particular, the relationship between the $k$-numerical range of $p(lambda)$ and the $k$-numerical range of its companion linearization is stated. moreover, the $k$-numerical ...

The n-dimensional numerical range of a densely defined linear operator T on a complex Hilbert space H is the set of vectors in Cn of the form (〈Te1, e1〉, . . . , 〈Ten, en〉), where e1, . . . , en is an orthonormal system in H, consisting of vectors from the domain of T . We prove that the components of every corner point of the n-dimensional numerical range are eigenvalues of T .

Composition operators on the Hilbert Hardy space of the unit disk are considered. The shape of their numerical range is determined in the case when the symbol of the composition operator is a monomial or an inner function fixing 0. Several results on the numerical range of composition operators of arbitrary symbol are obtained. It is proved that 1 is an extreme boundary point if and only if 0 i...
