AbstractEvery norm v on Cn induces two norm numerical ranges on the algebra Mn of all n × n complex matrices, the spatial numerical rangewhere vD is the norm dual to v, and the algebra numerical rangewhere is the set of states on the normed algebra Mn under the operator norm induced by v. For a symmetric norm v, we identify all linear maps on Mn that preserve either one of the two norm numerical ranges or the set of states or vector states. We also identify the numerical radius isometries, i.e., linear maps that preserve the (one) numerical radius induced by either numerical range. In particular, it is shown that if v is not the ℓ1, ℓ2, or ℓ∞ norms, then the linear maps that preserve either numerical range or either set of states are “inner”, i.e., of the formA ⟼ Q*AQ, where Q is a product of a diagonal unitary matrix and a permutation matrix and the numerical radius isometries are unimodular scalar multiples of such inner maps. For the ℓ1 and the ℓ∞ norms, the results are quite different.

0. Introduction. Let X be a normed space and let T be an operator on X. Let S(X) denote its unit sphere, {x ∈ X: ∥x∥ = 1}, B(X) = {x ∈ X: ∥x∥ ≤ 1} its unit ball, X′ its dual and ℬ(X) the normed algebra of bounded linear operators on X. Let II be the subset of the Cartesian product X × X′ defined by

In this paper various inequalities between the operator norm and its numerical radius are provided. For this purpose, we employ some classical inequalities for vectors in inner product spaces due to Buzano, Goldstein-Ryff-Clarke, Dragomir-S ´andor and the author.

In what follows, B(H) will denote the C*-algebra of all bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space H. Suppose we are given a C*-subalgebra A of B(H), which we shall suppose contains the identity operator 1. We are concerned with the existence of states f of B(H) which satisfy the following trace-like relation relative to A:Our first result shows the existence of states f satisfying (*), when A is the C*-algebra C*(x) generated by a normaloid operator × and the identity. This allows us to give simple proofs of some well-known results in operator theory. Recall that an operator × is normaloid if its operator norm equals its spectral radius.

By use of some non-negative Hermitian forms defined for n-tuple of bounded linear operators on the Hilbert space (H, h·, ·i) we establish new numerical radius and operator norm inequalities for sum of products of operators

We shall consider a multiparameter eigenvalue problem of the form(1.1)where λ ∈ Rk while Tn and Vn(λ) are self-adjoint linear operators on a Hilbert space Hn. If λ = (λ1, …, λk) ∈ Rk and satisfy (1.1) then we call λ an eigenvalue, x an eigenvector and (λ, x) an eigenpair. While our main thrust is towTards the general case of several parameters λn, the method ultimately involves reduction to a sequence of one parameter problems. Our chief contributions are (i) to generalise the conditions under which this reduction is possible, and (ii) to develop methods for the one parameter problem particularly suited to the multiparameter application. For example, we give rather general results on the magnitude and direction of the movement of non-linear eigenvalues under perturbation.

Let X be a complex Banach space. We denote by X* the dual space of X and by B(X) the space of all bounded linear operators on X. The (spatial) numerical range of an operator TεB(X) is defined as the setIf V(T) ⊂ ℝ, then T is called hermitian. More about numerical ranges may be found in [8] and [9].

AbstractLet H be a complex Hilbert space, and be the real linear space of bounded selfadjoint operators on H. We study linear maps ϕ: → leaving invariant various properties such as invertibility, positive definiteness, numerical range, etc. The maps ϕ are not assumed a priori continuous. It is shown that under an appropriate surjective or injective assumption ϕ has the form , for a suitable invertible or unitary T and ξ ∈ {1, −1}, where Xt stands for the transpose of X relative to some orthonormal basis. Examples are given to show that the surjective or injective assumption cannot be relaxed. The results are extended to complex linear maps on the algebra of bounded linear operators on H. Similar results are proved for the (real) linear space of (selfadjoint) operators of the form αI + K, where α is a scalar and K is compact.

Let X be a complex normed space with dual space X′ and let T be a bounded linear operator on X. The numerical range of T is defined asand the numerical radius is v(T) = sup {|ν: νε V(T)}. Most known results and problems concerning numerical range can be found in the notes by Bonsall and Duncan (5).
