Schur functions and their realizations in the slice hyperholomorphic setting (Q421113)

The authors develop Schur analysis, including the Schur algorithm and a theory of linear systems, in the context of the skew-field of quaternions. The basic tool is the theory of slice hyperholomorphic functions, which allow to write realizations in terms of a suitable resolvent. Results holding in the complex case are extended to the quaternionic one. Reproducing kernels, positive definite functions, and Schur multipliers are also discussed in this setting.
