Fractional-power numerical-radius conjecture for accretive matrices

Let AΓnA\in\Gamma_n, where Γn\Gamma_n denotes the class of accretive n×nn\times n matrices, and let tt satisfy 0<t<10<t<1. Fractional-power numerical-radius conjecture.

ω(At)ωt(A).\omega(A^t)\geq \omega^t(A).

This conjecture proposes that the numerical-radius inequality for natural powers reverses for every fractional power in (0,1)(0,1); the source provides simulations and proves the claim when tt is the reciprocal of a natural number, but leaves the general fractional case open.
