Affine disk normalization #

This file transports the unit-disk form of von Neumann's inequality to an arbitrary closed disk. The operator is normalized to R⁻¹ • (A - c • 1), while the polynomial is precomposed with z ↦ R * z + c.

Main declarations #

Precomposing with z ↦ R * z + c transports the polynomial sup-norm from the unit closed disk to closedBall c R.

If A - cI has norm at most R, then the closure of the numerical range of A lies in the closed disk with center c and radius R.

Von Neumann's inequality on a closed disk: if ‖A - cI‖ ≤ R and R > 0, then evaluation at A is bounded by the polynomial sup-norm on closedBall c R.

A disk containing A in the centered operator-norm sense is a polynomial spectral set for A, with sharp constant 1.
