On the shape of the numerical range of some tridiagonal matrices
Abstract
In this paper, we study the elliptical shape of the numerical range of tridiagonal matrices of orders $3,4$ and $5$ with zero entries on the main diagonal, a positive constant value a along the super-diagonal, and sub-diagonal entries are r, sr2, r3, sr4,…, rn−1 & if $n$ is even, and r, sr2, r3, sr4,…, srn−1 & if $n$ is odd, where n denotes the order of the matrix, s>0 and r is a real number. We further investigate the flat portions on the boundary of the numerical range of these n× n matrices in the special case r=−1. Some results given in \cite{chien2011numerical} are obtained as a particular case of our results.
