Update to: Spectral sets: Numerical range and beyond

Abstract

We use the results of Lorist and Schwenninger, {\em A solution to Crouzeix's conjecture}, arXiv:2608.03841v2, https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.03841, to update the 2019 paper of Crouzeix and Greenbaum, {\em Spectral sets: Numerical range and beyond}, SIAM J.~Matrix Anal.~Appl., 40(3):1087-1101. For all regions considered in the 2019 paper, we are able to show that the region is a $K$-spectral set with a bound on $K$ that is smaller than that established in the 2019 paper. In particular, we show that various annular regions are $2$-spectral sets and that a more general convex region with a circular hole or cutout is a $4$-spectral set.
