Schur-Nevanlinna-Potapov sequences of rational matrix functions (Q607243)

This paper studies Schur-Nevanlinna-Potapov sequences of rational functions with poles outside the unit circle. Schur-Nevanlinna-Potapov sequences are recursively constructed, based on some complex numbers with norm less than one and some strictly contractive matrices. Analytic properties of these functions are investigated. Further, the relation to orthogonal rational matrix functions are discussed and it is shown that Schur-Nevanlinna-Potapov sequences can be used to describe the solution set of an interpolation problem of Nevanlinna-Pick type for matricial Schur functions.
