The Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation problems and power moment problems for matrix-valued functions (Q1300872)

The authors discuss several interpolation problems, i.e. given some matrices, and some complex points, find a complex, matrix-valued function which has the prescribed values at the given points. The interpolation problems are the Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation problem for the Nevanlinna class and for the Stieltjes class, the truncated power moment problem on the real axis, and the Stieltjes matrix power problem. One of the aims of this paper is to establish the relation between the solution for the interpolation problems and the moment problems. The authors solve this by using the block Hankel vector approach.
