Abstract

In this paper we obtain a new linear fractional parametrization for the set of all positive semi-definite completions of a generalized banded partial operator matrix. As applications we obtain a cascade transform parametrization for the set of all contractive completions of a triangular partial operator matrix satisfying possibly an extra linear constraint (thus extending the results on the Strong Parrott problem). In each of the problems also a maximum entropy principle appears.
