Abstract
Relying on the ideas of Stampfli [14] and Magajna [12] we introduce, for operators S and T on a separable complex Hilbert space, a new notion called the numerical range of S relative to T at r∈σ(|T|). Some properties of these numerical ranges are proved. In particular, it is shown that the relative numerical ranges are non-empty convex subsets of the closure of the ordinary numerical range of S. We show that the position of zero with respect to the relative numerical range of S relative to T at ‖T‖ gives an information about the distance between the involved operators. This result has many interesting corollaries. For instance, one can characterize those complex numbers which are in the closure of the numerical range of S but are not in the spectrum of S.
