The numerical radius #

This file proves the classical sharp comparison between the numerical radius and the operator norm:

numericalRadius A ≤ ‖A‖ ≤ 2 * numericalRadius A.

The reverse estimate is independent of completeness. Its proof first homogenizes the unit-vector definition of the numerical range, then applies the complex polarization identity to the quadratic form x ↦ ⟪x, A x⟫_ℂ.

The quadratic form of an operator at an arbitrary vector is bounded by the numerical radius times the squared norm.

Polarization upgrades the diagonal numerical-radius estimate to every matrix coefficient.

On a unit vector, the operator is bounded by twice its numerical radius.

Pointwise sharp comparison of the operator norm and numerical radius.

The operator norm is at most twice the numerical radius. Together with numericalRadius_le_norm, this is the classical sharp norm equivalence.

The numerical radius vanishes exactly for the zero operator.

The numerical radius is positive exactly for nonzero operators.

Numerical radius is subadditive.

One half of absolute homogeneity of the numerical radius.

Numerical radius is absolutely homogeneous.

Numerical radius satisfies the triangle inequality for subtraction.

The numerical radius bundled as a complex seminorm on bounded operators. Definiteness is supplied separately by numericalRadius_eq_zero_iff.
