Schur analysis of some completion problems (Q1117290): Difference between revisions

The authors give effective parametrizations of entries for different types of operator matrices (positive, contractive, etc.). The main efforts are concentrated around the following problems: (A) Consider the operators \((K_{ij})_{1\leq i,j\leq n}\) with \(| i- j| \leq m\), \(0\leq m\leq n-1\). Analyze the positive band extensions of \((K_{ij})\) a completion \(T=(T_{ij})_{1\leq i,j\leq n}\) of \((K_{ij})\) is a band extensionif T is invertible and \((T^{- 1})_{ij}=0\) for \(| i-j| >m.\) (B) Consider the operators \((K_{ij})_{1\leq j\leq i\leq n}\). Give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of an \(n\times n\) contractive block matrix T such that \(T_{ij}=K_{ij}\) for \(1\leq j\leq i\leq n\). Describe all solutions T and analyze isometric, coisometric, or unitary ones. (C) Describe the structure of upper triangular contractions \(T=(T_{ij})\) \((T_{ij}=0\) for \(i>j)\) and their realizability as transfer operators for time-varying linear systems.
