Abstract

Let J be an involutive Hermitian matrix with signature (t, n−t), 0 ≤ t ≤ n, that is, with t positive and n−t negative eigenvalues. The Krein space numerical range of a complex matrix A of size n is the collection of complex numbers of the form ξ∗JAξ / ξ∗Jξ , with      ξ ∈ℂn and ξJξ ≠ 0. In this note, a class of tridiagonal matrices with hyperbolical numerical range is investigated. A Matlab program is developed to generate Krein spaces numerical ranges in the finite dimensional case.
