摘要
Criterion for a companion matrix to have a certain number of flat portions on the boundary of its numerical range is given. The criterion is specialized to the cases of 3 x 3 and 4 x 4 matrices. In the latter case, it is proved that a 4 x 4 unitarily irreducible companion matrix cannot have three flat portions on the boundary of its numerical range. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the main results.
