Abstract: It is well known that the eigenvalues of a complex matrix A are located to the left of the vertical line passing through the largest eigenvalue of its Hermitian part, H (A). Adam and Tsatsomeros in [1] defined a cubic algebraic curve, known as the shell Γ 1 (A) of A , using the two largest eigenvalues of H (A). This curve localizes the spectrum further and lies to the left of the aforementioned vertical line. Later, Bergqvist in [5] extended the methodology employed in [1] to define a new curve, Γ 2 (A) , in terms of the three largest eigenvalues of H (A). This article delves into the geometry of Γ 2 (A) for a real matrix A to address some open questions raised in [5]. In particular, specific conditions are established to characterize the configurations of Γ 2 (A) in certain cases. Additionally, the number of eigenvalues of A surrounded by a bounded branch of the curve is examined. Examples are used to validate our findings and demonstrate the quality of Γ 2 (A) as a finer spectrum localization area when compared to Γ 1 (A). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
