Schur parameters, Toeplitz matrices, and Kreĭn shorted operators (Q429711): Difference between revisions

Throughout its six sections, the present paper is a large study on Schur parameters, Toeplitz matrices and Kreĭn shorted operators. In the first section, notations and the working tools are given. So, the Schur algorithm, Schur parameters, lower triangular Toeplitz matrices, Kreĭn shorted operators and notions about discrete time-invariant systems are recalled. The background material concerning parametrization of \(2 \times 2\) contractive and unitary block operator matrices is presented in the second section, and in the third one some results on completely non-unitary contractions, necessary in the study, are given. The conservative realization of the Schur algorithm is presented in the fourth section. Some new properties of Kreĭn shorted operators are given in the fifth section which, along with the results on the Schur algorithm for operator-valued functions based on choice sequences techniques, leads to the main results obtained in the sixth section. Shorted operators for defect operators of Toeplitz matrices are analyzed, and the Schur parameter, controllability and observability are studied. Also, a characterization of central solutions and uniqueness criteria for the solution are given in terms of shorted operators for defect operators of contractive Toeplitz matrices, corresponding to the data.
