13. Understanding properties of extremal Blaschke products

Understanding properties of extremal Blaschke products $B_A$ associated with a matrix $A$ (I propose to call them Crouzeix’s Blaschke products):

Specifically designed numericall experiments may help to investigate these problems.
    1. Problem 13.1.

      [E. Wegert] Why do they so often have a low degree?
        • Problem 13.2.

          [E. Wegert] What does a low (or high) degree tell us about the matrix?
            • Problem 13.3.

              [E. Wegert] What are geometric properties of the sub-classes $A\in\mathbb{C}^{d\times d}$ with $\mathrm{deg}\,B_A=k$, $k=0,\ldots,d$?
                • Problem 13.4.

                  [E. Wegert] Are there relations between the Blaschke product $b$ generating a compression $S_b$ of the shift (Pamela Gorkin’s talk) and its (extremal) Crouzeix Blaschke product $B$?
