Abstract

Let B(H) be the algebra of all bounded linear operators on a complex Hilbert space H, and let S be a norm ideal in B(H). For A, B ∈ B(H), define the elementary operator M S, A, B on S by M S, A, B(X) = AXB (X ∈ S). The aim of this paper is to give necessary and suffcient conditions under which the equality V (M S, A, B) = cō(W(A)W(B)) holds. Here V (T) and W(T) denote the algebraic numerical range and spatial numerical range of an operator T, respectively, and cō(Ω) denotes the closed convex hull of a subset Ω⊆ C.
