We obtain inequalities involving numerical radius of a matrix A ∈ Mn C. Using this result, we find upper bounds for zeros of a given polynomial. We also give a method to estimate the spectral radius of a given matrix A ∈ Mn C up to the desired degree of accuracy. 1. Introduction Suppose A ∈ Mn C. Let WA, σA denote respectively the numerical range, spectrum of A and wA, rσ A denote respectively the numerical radius, spectral radius of A, that is, WA {Ax, x : x 1}, wA sup{|λ| : λ ∈ WA}, σA λ : λ is an eigenvalue of A , 1.1 rσ A sup{|λ| : λ ∈ σA}. It is well known that i A/2 ≤ wA ≤ A. Kittaneh 1 improved on the second inequality to prove that. ii wA ≤ 1/2A 1/2A2 1/2 . 2 1/2 Clearly, 1/2A 1/2A second inequality of i. ≤ A so that inequality ii is sharper than the 2 International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences Let pz zn an−1 zn−1 · · · a1 z a0 be a monic polynomial where a0 , a1 , . . . , an−1 are complex numbers and let ⎛ −an−1 −an−2 ⎜ 1 0 ⎜ ⎜ 1 ⎜ 0 C p ⎜ ⎜ 0 0 ⎜ ⎝ · · · · · · · · · · ⎞ · −a1 −a0 · 0 0 ⎟ ⎟ · 0 0 ⎟ ⎟ ⎟ · 0 0 ⎟ ⎟ · · · ⎠ · 1 0 1.2 be the Frobenius companion matrix of the polynomial pz. Then, it is well known that zeros of p are exactly the eigenvalues of Cp. Considering Cp as an element of Mn C, we see that if z is root of the polynomial equation pz 0, then |z| ≤ rσ C p . |z| ≤ w C p , 1.3 Based on inequality ii, Kittaneh 1 obtained an estimation for wCp which gives an upper bound for zeros of the polynomial pz. In Section 1 we find numerical radius of some special class of matrices and use the results obtained to give a better estimation of bounds for zeros of a polynomial. 2. On Numerical Radius of a Matrix We first obtain bounds for numerical radius of a matrix in Mn C and use it to obtain numerical radius for some special class of matrices. Theorem 2.1. Suppose T ∈ Mn C and T A B , C D 2.1 where A ∈ Mr C, B ∈ Mr,n−r C, C ∈ Mn−r,r C and D ∈ Mn−r C. Then, i wT ≤ 1/2wA wD wA − wD2 B C2 and ≤ 1/2A2 B2 C2 ii T 2 1/2 A2 C2 − B2 − D2 2 4AB CD2 . D2 Proof. i Let Z ∈ Cn and Z where X ∈ Cr and Y ∈ Cn−r with Z 1. X , Y 2.2 International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences 3 Then, T Z, Z AX BY X , AX, X BY, X CX, Y DY, Y CX DY Y 2.3 and so |T Z, Z| ≤ |AX, X| |DY, Y | BXY CXY . 2.4 Therefore, we have wT ≤ sup wAX2 wDY 2 B CXY , X2 Y 2 1 sup wAcos2 θ wDsin2 θ B C cos θ sin θ , θ∈0,2π ≤ 2.5 1 wA wD wA − wD2 B C2 . 2 This completes the first part of the proof. ii Proceeding as in i we can prove the second part. This completes the proof of the theorem. Remark 2.2. As an application of i in Theorem 2.1, T has another estimation by T 2 T ∗ T wT ∗ T as follows: T 2 ≤ 1 wA∗ A C∗ C wB∗ B D∗ D 2 wA∗ A C∗ C − wB∗ B D∗ D2 4A∗ B C∗ D2 . 2.6 Furuta 2 obtained numerical radius for a bounded linear operator T of the above form with A aIr , B bA, C cA∗ , D dIn−r , and a, b, c, d ∈ R . If we consider A aIr , D dIn−r , C 0n−r,r where a, d ∈ R, then we can exactly calculate wT and T as proved in the next theorem. Theorem 2.3. Suppose B ∈ Mr,n−r C and T Then aIr B . On−r,r dIn−r i wT 1/2|a d| a − d2 B2 and √ ii T 1/ 2 a2 d2 B2 a2 − d2 − B2 2 4a2 B2 . 2.7 4 International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences Proof. i Following the method employed in the previous theorem, we can show that 1 2 2 wT ≤ |a d| a − d B . 2 2.8 We only need to show that there exists z0 , z0 1 such that |T z0 , z0 | equals the quantity in the RHS. Suppose B attains its norm at y with y 1. Let z By kyt where k is a scalar. Then, z2 B2 |k|2 . Now T z, z B aIr On−r,r dIn−r By By , ky ky 2.9 so that 2 2 kB dk a 1 . T z, z · z2 B2 k2 2.10 Thus for all scalar k, we get wT ≥ a kB2 dk2 B2 k2 . 2.11 Case 1 d a ≥ 0. Define a function φ : R → R by φk a kB2 dk2 B2 k2 . 2.12 Then using elementary calculus, we can show that φk attains its maximum at k0 d − a d − a2 B2 so that for z0 1/ By2 k0 y2 By k0 yt we get 1 2 2 a d a − d B . |T z0 , z0 | 2 2.13 1 2 2 wT |a d| a − d B . 2 2.14 Thus, we get International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences Case 2 d a ≤ 0. As before we can show that there exists k0 d − a − that for z0 1/ By2 k0 y2 By k0 yt we get 5 d − a2 B2 so 1 2 2 |a d| a − d B . |T z0 , z0 | 2 2.15 1 2 2 wT |a d| a − d B . 2 2.16 Thus in all cases, we get This completes the proof of i. ii The proof is similar to the earlier one. This completes the proof of the theorem. Using Theorem 2.3, we can find numerical radius of an idempotent matrix A, that is, a matrix for which A2 A and also for a matrix for which A2 I. Corollary 2.4. Suppose A ∈ Mn C with A2 A. Then wA A 1 . 2 2 2.17 Proof. By Schur’s theorem, A is unitarily equivalent to an upper triangular matrix. So without loss of generality, we can assume that A Ir On−r,r Br,n−r , 0n−r 2.18 where Ir is the identity matrix, Br,n−r is any matrix. Using the last theorem, we get wA A 1 . 2 2 2.19 Corollary 2.5. Suppose A ∈ Mn C and A2 I. Then 1 1 wA . A 2 A 2.20 6 International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences Proof. A can be expressed as A Ir On−r,r Br,n−r , −In−r 2.21 where Ir is the identity matrix, Br,n−r is any matrix. By Theorem 2.3, we have A 1 1 1 B2 B 4 B2 , 2 2 1 4 B2 . wA 2 2.22 Therefore 1 1 A2 1 B2 B 4 B2 , 2 2 1 2 A 1 1 1/2B2 1/2B 4 B2 2.23 1 1 1 B2 − B 4 B2 . 2 2 By adding, we get A2 1 A2 2 B2 2 1 ⇒ A 4 B2 A 1 1 ⇒ wA . A 2 A 2.24 Corollary 2.6. Suppose A ∈ Mn C with A2n I. Then 1/n 1 1 n wA ≥ . A 2 An Proof. It follows from the fact that An 2 I and wAn ≥ wAn . 2.25 International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences 7 3.

Then, it is well known that zeros of p are exactly the eigenvalues of Cp. Considering Cp as a linear operator on Cn , we see that if z is root of the polynomial equation pz 0 then |z| ≤ w C p as σ C p ⊂ W C p , 3.2 where σCp is the spectrum of operator Cp. Estimation of the roots of zeros of the polynomial pz has been done by many mathematicians over the years, some of them are mentioned below.

Example 3.2. Consider the polynomial equation pz z3 − 3z2 2z 0. Then the bounds estimated by different mathematicians are as shown in Table 1. But our estimation shows that if λ is a zero of the polynomial then |λ| ≤ 2.280776406 which is much better than all the estimations mentioned above. The companion matrix of the polynomial after removing the second term can be written as ⎛ ⎞ 0 1 0 ⎝1 0 0⎠ A2,2 B2,1 . C1,1 D1,1 0 1 0 3.16 Then using the above theorems, it is easy to show that |λ| ≤ 2.207 which is even better estimation. Example 3.3. Consider the polynomial equation pz z5 − 8z4 25z3 − 38z2 28z − 8 0. Then, the bounds estimated by different mathematicians are as shown in Table 2. But our estimation shows that if λ is a zero of the polynomial then |λ| ≤ 2.703669110 which is much better than all the estimations mentioned above. Theorem 3.4.

We first prove the lemma which shows that the coefficients of pm z can be expressed in terms of coefficients of pz. Lemma 3.5. Suppose pz zn an−1 zn−1 · · · a1 za0 is a monic polynomial, where a0 , a1 , . . . , an−1 are complex numbers and αi , i 1, 2, . . . , n are the zeros of this polynomial. If p1 z zn 1 1 1 an−1 zn−1 · · · a1 za0 is the polynomial having α2i i 1, 2, . . . , n as zeros, then for r 1, 2, . . . , n: 1 ar −1 2n−r a2r n−r k 2 −1 ark ar−k , where an 1, ank an−k 0. 3.18 k1 Proof.

We next prove the theorem. Theorem 3.6. Suppose pz zn an−1 zn−1 · · · a1 za0 is a monic polynomial and αi are the roots of this equation i 1, 2, . . . , n, where a0 , a1 , . . . , an−1 are complex numbers with |α1 | > 1 > |α2 | > · · · > m m m m |αn |. If the equation having roots α2i for i 1, 2, . . . , n is pm z zn an−1 zn−1 · · · a1 z a0 , then there exists m0 ∈ N such that m m 1 |an−k | ≤ |an−1 | whenever m ≥ m0 and for k 2, 3, . . . , n; m 2 wCm p1/2 converges to rσ Cp. 12 International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences Proof. 1 We prove this for k 2 and the rest are similar. First observe that n n m m 2m αk ≥ |α1 |2 − |αk |2 , k1 k2 n n m n m 2m 2m 2m 2m αj 2 |αk |2m . αj αk ≤ |α1 | |αk | an−2 j / k1 k2 j/ k2 m an−1 3.26 Now in order to have m m an−2 ≤ an−1 . 3.27 We get |α1 | 2m − n |αk | 2m ≥ |α1 | 2m n k2 |αk | 2m n m αj 2 |αk |2m , j/ k2 k2 3.28 that is, 2m |α1 | 2m ≥ 1 |α1 | ( n ) |αk | 2m n m αj 2 |αk |2m , 3.29 j/ k2 k2 that is, 'n m |α1 |2 m 1 |α1 |2 ≥ 'n m 2 k2 |αk | m 1 |α1 |2 j/ k2 2m αj |αk |2m m 1 |α1 |2 3.30 . Clearly, this inequality holds good as the left-hand side converges to 1, but the right-hand side converges to 0. 2 We have ⎤ ⎡ # $ # ⎛ ⎞2 $ n $ 2 $ m 2 $ m ⎥ 1 ⎢ m π π % an−1 − cos ⎝1 % an−k ⎠ ⎥ w Cm p ≤ ⎢ an−1 cos ⎦, ⎣ 2 n n k2 3.31 that is, ⎤ ⎡ 2 2 √ 1 m m m w Cm p ≤ ⎣an−1 1 an−1 1 n − 2an−1 ⎦, 2 3.32 International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences 13 that is, ⎤ ⎡ 2 √ 2 1 m m m m m w Cm p ≤ ⎣an−1 an−1 an−1 an−1 n − 2an−1 ⎦. 2 3.33 So we get m n n αi 2 m m 2m 2 w Cm p ≤ K an−1 ≤ K αi ≤ K|α1 | 1 . i1 α1 i2 3.34 Now 2m m rσ C p rσ Cm p ≤ w Cm p ≤ K|α1 |2 m n αi 2 1 . α i2 1 3.35 Therefore, m 1/2m n αi 2 * +1/2m rσ C p ≤ w Cm p ≤ |α1 | K 1 . α1 i2 3.36 As the terms inside the bracket on the RHS converges to 1, we get the desired result. This completes the proof of the theorem. Application. As an application we can exactly find the spectral radius of a given matrix. Consider a given matrix A of order n. Step 1. We first find the characteristic polynomial qz zn bn−1 zn−1 · · · b1 z b0 . Suppose αi , i 1, 2, . . . , r are the distinct roots of qz 0 with |α1 | > |α2 | > · · · > |αr |. Step 2. Find pz qz/gcdqz, q z zr ar−1 zr−1 · · · a1 z a0 . Then, roots of qz 0 m m m are αi , i 1, 2, . . . , r without multiplicity. Let pm z zn an−1 zn−1 · · · a1 z a0 be the m polynomial having α2i for i 1, 2, . . . , r as its zeros. Step 3. Since |α2 | < |α1 |, taking < 1/4|α1 | − |α2 |, we can see that |α2 | < |α1 − 2. Again m m using a result of 9, we get |an−1 |1/2 converging to |α1 |. So for this there exists an m0 ∈ N m m such that |α1 | − < |an−1 |1/2 < |α1 | for all m ≥ m0 . Therefore, m m 1/2 < |α1 | |α2 | < |α1 | − < an−1 ∀m ≥ m0 . 3.37 14 International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences Table 3 No. of iterations 0 1 2 3 4 5 m a4 −1 −1 −1 −1.25 1.547363281 2.394094544 m a3 0 0 −2−3 31 × 2−12 0.000119 0 m m a2 0 −2−4 −2−9 13 × 2−19 0 0 a1 0 0 −2−13 3 × 2−28 0 0 m a0 −2−5 −2−10 −2−20 −2−40 0 0 rσ Cqz 2.85 2.40 2.20 2.11 2.07 2.05 m m 1/2 0 Step 4.

The required sequence is xm twCm s1/2 , which converges to the spectral radius of matrix A. Example 3.7. Consider the 5th-degree polynomial qz z5 2z4 1. By Rouche’s theorem, it is easy to see that all the roots except one are enclosed by the simple closed curve |z| 2. Consider sz z5 z4 1/25 and then iterating the coefficints of Qz we get the following. The highest absolute value of the zeros of the polynomial is 2.055 and by 5th iteration we get 2.05. Continuing the above process, we can find the highest absolute value of the zeros of the polynomial up to the desired degree of accuracy. The previous best result for this is known to be 2.414 given by Alpin 8. The iterations are shown in Table 3.
