An algorithm for finding low degree rational solutions to the Schur coefficient problem (Q964226)

Let \(H^\infty\) be the Banach space of bounded analytic functions on the open unit disk \(\mathbb D\) with the norm \(\| f\|_\infty:=\sup\{| f(z)|: z\in\mathbb D\}<\infty\). Denote by \({\mathcal S}\) the closed unit ball in \(H^\infty\) (this set is also called Schur class). If \({\mathcal R}\) denote the algebra of rational functions \(f=N_f/D_f\) with \(\deg(f)=\max\{\deg (N_f),\deg (D_f)\}\) denote \({\mathcal R}_{\leq k}:=\{f\in{\mathcal R}:\deg (f)\leq k\}\) and \({\mathcal{SR}}_{\leq k}= S\cap R_{\leq k}\). The Schur coefficient problem in this case is: \(RSP_{n,k}:\) Given the data set \(c_0,c_1,\dots,c_n\in\mathbb C\) and \(k\geq0\) find all function \(f\in{\mathcal{SR}}_{\leq k}\) of the form \(f(z)= c_0+ c_1z+\cdots+ c_nz^n+O(z^{n+1})\). The author studies this problem and gives an algorithm producing all functions \(f\in{\mathcal{SR}}_{\leq k}\) for every \(k\geq n\). The case when \(k<n\) is also discussed.
