Abstract

Crouzeix and Palencia recently showed that the numerical range of a Hilbert-space operator is a (1 + √2)-spectral set for the operator. One of the principal ingredients of their proof can be formulated as an abstract functional-analysis lemma. We give a new short proof of the lemma and show that, in the context of this lemma, the constant (1 + √2) is sharp.
