# Maximal numerical range

## Definition

Let $A$ be an $d \times d$ matrix. The maximal numerical range of $A$ is the set: $W_0(A) = \{ z : A z, \|A \| \|A\|, = 1, ^d \}.$

This notion was first introduced in [1]. In [2] it was shown that the maximal numerical range of an operator has a non-empty intersection with the boundary of its numerical range if and only if the operator is normaloid. More properties about maximal numerical range for specific class of matrices we can find in [3].
