Abstract

The paper outlines a coherent development of factorization theory in the framework of polynomial model theory. Starting from the most elementary factorizations of polynomial matrices we build up the connections to invariant subspace theory, factorizations of transfer functions, Wiener-Hopf factorizations. We pass on to spectral factorizations of polynomial matrices and rational functions and the connection with the analysis of the algebraic Riccati equation. Finally we study inner/outer factorizations for a class of transfer functions and the derivation of state space formulas.

The aim throughout is to highlight the logical interconnections and the technique rather than the derivation of the most general results.
