    Description

    Starting with elementary operator theory and matrix analysis, this book introduces the basic properties of the numerical range and gradually builds up the whole numerical range theory. Over 400 assorted problems, ranging from routine exercises to published research results, give you the chance to put the theory into practice and test your understanding. Interspersed throughout the text are numerous comments and references, allowing you to discover related developments and to pursue areas of interest in the literature. Also included is an appendix on basic convexity properties on the Euclidean space. Targeted at graduate students as well as researchers interested in functional analysis, this book provides a comprehensive coverage of classic and recent works on the numerical range theory. It serves as an accessible entry point into this lively and exciting research area.

    • Starts from scratch with an introduction to operator theory and matrix analysis then gradually builds up the whole numerical range theory
    • Detailed bibliography encourages the reader to explore the wider literature
    • Contains over 400 problems ranging from routine exercises to research results in the published papers

    Reviews & endorsements

    ‘All in all, this is a well-written and useful book dedicated to a special subject in the realm of single operator theory, which will be helpful to every working mathematician somehow involved with numerical range, as well as to graduate students going into this research field. I have kept my copy on that special bookshelf near my desk within hands’ reach.’ Carlos S. Kubrusly, zbMATH Open

    : Journal

    Compositio Mathematica is a prestigious, well-established journal publishing first-class research papers that traditionally focus on the mainstream of pure mathematics. Compositio Mathematica has a broad scope which includes the fields of algebra, number theory, topology, algebraic and differential geometry and (geometric) analysis. Papers on other topics are welcome if they are of broad interest. All contributions are required to meet high standards of quality and originality. The Journal has an international editorial board reflected in the journal content. Online access is free for all papers published 5 years ago or more. Papers published before 1997 are available from the NUMDAM website. Compositio is owned and published by non-profit organisations (the Foundation Compositio Mathematica and the London Mathematical Society) that use any surplus income from journal subscriptions to sponsor mathematics and mathematical research.

    : Journal

    Since 2008 EJAM surveys have been expanded to cover Applied and Industrial Mathematics. Coverage of the journal has been strengthened in probabilistic applications, while still focusing on those areas of applied mathematics inspired by real-world applications, and at the same time fostering the development of theoretical methods with a broad range of applicability. Survey papers contain reviews of emerging areas of mathematics, either in core areas or with relevance to users in industry and other disciplines.Research papers may be in any area of applied mathematics, with special emphasis on new mathematical ideas, relevant to modelling and analysis in modern science and technology, and the development of interesting mathematical methods of wide applicability.
