Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We describe continuity properties of the multivalued inverse of the numerical range map fA: x →(Ax,x) associated with a linear operator A defined on a complex Hilbert space H. We prove in particular that f-1 A is strongly continuous at all points of the interior of the numerical range W(A). We give examples where strong and weak continuity fail on the boundary and address special cases such as normal and compact operators.
