The centered-circle auxiliary operator under spectral enclosure #

The circle Cauchy formulas in SpectralCauchy.lean require only that the spectrum lie strictly inside the circle. This file applies their resolvent and negative-Laurent identities to the conjugate boundary values of a polynomial. As in the operator-norm model, every positive monomial vanishes and only the constant coefficient remains.

This identity does not supply the product norm estimate in the general Crouzeix--Palencia argument: that estimate still needs the divided-difference boundary transform rather than a disk von Neumann inequality.

Main declaration #

If spectrum ℂ A lies in the centered open disk of radius r, the conjugate-polynomial auxiliary operator on its boundary circle is the constant operator star (p.eval 0) • 1.

If the closure of the numerical range lies inside a centered open disk, the symmetrized Crouzeix--Palencia estimate can be written without an auxiliary-operator symbol: its adjoint is simply p.eval 0 • 1.
