Popis: For n-by-n and m-by-m complex matrices A and B, respectively, it is known that the inequality w ( A ⊗ B ) ≤ ‖ A ‖ w ( B ) holds, where w ( ⋅ ) and ‖ ⋅ ‖ denote, respectively, the numerical radius and the operator norm of a matrix. In this paper, we consider when this becomes an equality. We show that the equality w ( A ⊗ B ) = ‖ A ‖ w ( B ) holds if and only if A and B have k-by-k compressions A 1 and B 1 , respectively, such that rank ( ‖ A ‖ 2 I k − A 1 ⁎ A 1 ) ≤ min θ ∈ R ⁡ dim ⁡ ker ⁡ ( w ( B ) I k − Re ( e i θ B 1 ) ) . We also give some consequences of this result. In particular, we show that if rank B ≤ sup ⁡ { k ∈ N : ‖ A k ‖ = ‖ A ‖ k } , then w ( A ⊗ B ) = ‖ A ‖ w ( B ) .
