Abstract: The Schur class, denoted by mathcalS(mathbbD), is the set of all functions analytic and bounded by one in modulus in the open unit disc mathbbD in the complex plane mathbbC, that is [ mathcal{S}(mathbb{D}) = {varphi in H^infty(mathbb{D}): |varphi|_{infty} := sup_{z in mathbb{D}} |varphi(z)| leq 1}. ] The elements of mathcalS(mathbbD) are called Schur functions. A classical result going back to I. Schur states: A function varphi:mathbbDightarrowmathbbC is in mathcalS(mathbbD) if and only if there exist a Hilbert space mathcalH and an isometry (known as colligation operator matrix or scattering operator matrix) [ V = �egin{bmatrix} a & B \ C & D end{bmatrix} : mathbb{C} oplus mathcal{H} ightarrow mathbb{C} oplus mathcal{H}, ] such that varphi admits a transfer function realization corresponding to V, that is [ varphi(z) = a + z B (I_{mathcal{H}} - z D)^{-1} C quad quad (z in mathbb{D}). ] An analogous statement holds true for Schur functions on the bidisc. On the other hand, Schur-Agler class functions on the unit polydisc in mathbbCn is a well-known "analogue" of Schur functions on mathbbD. In this paper, we present algorithms to factorize Schur functions and Schur-Agler class functions in terms of colligation matrices. More precisely, we isolate checkable conditions on colligation matrices that ensure the existence of Schur (Schur-Agler class) factors of a Schur (Schur-Agler class) function and vice versa.
