On the numerical radius of a class of weighted shift operators

Abstract

In this paper, we derive some bounds on numerical radius of the weighted shift operator $T$ with weights $(1,sq,q^2,tq^3,q^4,sq^5,q^6,tq^7,\ldots)$ where $s,t >0$ and $0<q<1$. Furthermore, we provide an entire function $F_T(z)$. The reciprocal of the minimal positive root of $F_T(z)=0$ gives the numerical radius of $T$. These results generalize several previously known results on the numerical radius of weighted shift operators discussed in \cite{chakraborty2025numerical}.
