This book is devoted to conservative realizations of various classes of Stieltjes, inverse Stieltjes, and general Herglotz-Nevanlinna functions as impedance functions of linear systems. The main feature of the monograph is a new approach to the realization theory profoundly involving developed extension theory in triplets of rigged Hilbert spaces and unbounded operators as state-space operators of linear systems. The connections of the realization theory to systems with accretive, sectorial, and contractive state-space operators as well as to the Phillips-Kato sectorial extension problem, the Krein-von Neumann and Friedrichs extremal extensions are provided. Among other results the book contains applications to the inverse problems for linear systems with non-self-adjoint Schrödinger operators, Jacobi matrices, and to the Nevanlinna-Pick system interpolation.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
From the reviews:
"The book demonstrates the deep and powerful interconnection between operator theory, systems theory, and the theory of analytic functions of one variable (which was observed and explored in the pioneering works of M. Liv
sic). It will be of interest for researchers in each of these fields." (Dmitry Kaliuzhnyi-Verbovetskyi, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1240, 2012)
