On the Bessmertnyĭ class of homogeneous positive holomorphic functions of several variables

From MaRDI portal





The paper deals with generalizations of the Bessmertnyĭ\; class of rational \(n\times n\) matrix functions \(f\) having a long resolvent representation \[ f(z)=a(z)-b(z)d(z)^{-1}c(z),\quad z=(z_1,\ldots,z_N)\in\mathbb{C}^N, \] with a linear \((n+p)\times(n+p)\) matrix-valued function \[ A(z)=A_0+z_1A_1+\ldots+z_NA_N=\left[\begin{matrix} a(z)& b(z)\\c(z)& d(z)\end{matrix} \right]. \] Let \(\mathbb{R}\mathcal{B}_N^{n\times n}\) denote the class of homogeneous matrix functions \(f\) satisfying the condition \[ f(\lambda z_1,\ldots, \lambda z_N)=\lambda f(z_1,\ldots,z_N),\quad\lambda\in\mathbb{C} \setminus\{0\},\quad z=(z_1,\ldots,z_N)\in\mathbb{C}^N, \] with \(A_0=0\) and the real numerical matrices \(A_k=A_k^T\geq 0\), \(k=1,\ldots,N\). Every \(f\in\mathbb{R}\mathcal{B}_N^{n\times n}\) possesses the properties: \[ f(z)+f(z)^*\geq 0,\quad z\in\Pi^N=\big\{z\in\mathbb{C}^N: \roman{Re}\,z_k>0,\;k=1,2,\ldots,N\big\} \] and \(f(\bar{z})=f(z)^*=f(\bar{z})^T,\;\;z\in\mathbb{C}^N\). The author extends Bessmertnyĭ's considerations from rational matrix-valued functions to holomorphic operator-valued functions, and from finite-dimensional long resolvent representations to infinite-dimensional ones. Several equivalent characterizations of the generalized Bessmertnyĭ\; class are given, and its connection with the Agler-Schur class of holomorphic contractive operator-valued functions on the unit polydisc is established. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1050.47002].
