Abstract

The zero-dilation index $d(A)$ of an $n$-by-$n$ complex matrix $A$ is the maximum size of the zero matrix which can be dilated to $A$. In this paper, we determine the value of this index for a certain KMS matrix by using the Li--Sze characterization of higher-rank numerical ranges of a finite matrix.
