Factorization of Matrix and Operator Functions: The State Space Method (Linear Operators and Linear Systems, #178) (Operator Theory: Advances and Applications, #178) (Operator Theory, Advances and Applications; Linear Operators)

by Harm Bart, Israel Gohberg, Marinus A Kaashoek, and Andr Ran

This book delineates the various types of factorization problems for matrix and operator functions. The problems originate from, or are motivated by, the theory of non-selfadjoint operators, the theory of matrix polynomials, mathematical systems and control theory, the theory of Riccati equations, inversion of convolution operators, and the theory of job scheduling in operations research. The book presents a geometric principle of factorization which has its origins in the state space theory of linear input-output systems and in the theory of characteristic operator functions.
