Abstract
A characterization of the matrix representation of the compressed shift acting on a finite-dimensional model space endowed with the Takenaka-Malmquist-Walsh basis, among all upper triangular matrices, is proved. For a fixed dimension, this matrix is the unique matrix with spectral norm no greater than one and with a prescribed diagonal and superdiagonal. We also discuss an extension to the setting of infinite matrices.
期刊介绍:
Linear Algebra and its Applications publishes articles that contribute new information or new insights to matrix theory and finite dimensional linear algebra in their algebraic, arithmetic, combinatorial, geometric, or numerical aspects. It also publishes articles that give significant applications of matrix theory or linear algebra to other branches of mathematics and to other sciences. Articles that provide new information or perspectives on the historical development of matrix theory and linear algebra are also welcome. Expository articles which can serve as an introduction to a subject for workers in related areas and which bring one to the frontiers of research are encouraged. Reviews of books are published occasionally as are conference reports that provide an historical record of major meetings on matrix theory and linear algebra.
