We completely characterize the higher rank numerical range of the matrices of the form J n (α) ⊕ βI m , where J n (α) is the n × n Jordan block with eigenvalue α. Our characterization allows us to obtain concrete examples of several extreme properties of higher rank numerical ranges.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
