A band method approach to a positive expansion problem in a unitary dilation setting (Q1601365)

In this paper, a positive commuting expansion problem is presented and solved. The problem includes the Carathéodory and other classical interpolation problems. A special solution is constructed by combining the geometry of the minimal unitary dilation with state space techniques from system theory. Then all solutions are obtained using the band method approach and spectral factorizations of the special solution.
