The goal of this note is to apply ideas from commutative algebra (a.k.a. affine algebraic geometry) to the question of constrained Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation. More precisely, we consider subalgebras $A \subset…
The theory of Nevanlinna-Pick and Carath\'eodory-Fej\'er interpolation for matrix- and operator-valued Schur class functions on the unit disk is now well established. Recent work has produced extensions of the theory to a variety of…
If $\fA$ is a unital weak-$*$ closed algebra of multiplication operators on a reproducing kernel Hilbert space which has the property $\bA_1(1)$, then the cyclic invariant subspaces index a Nevanlinna-Pick family of kernels. This yields an…
Given a domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{C}^m$, and a finite set of points $z_1,\ldots, z_n\in \Omega$ and $w_1,\ldots, w_n\in \mathbb{D}$ (the open unit disc in the complex plane), the $Pick\, interpolation\, problem$ asks when there is a…
I describe a verifiable criterion for the solvability of the 2 by 2 spectral Nevanlinna-Pick problem with two interpolation points, and likewise for three other special cases of the mu-synthesis problem. The problem is to construct an…

We consider a free interpolation problem in Nevanlinna and Smirnov classes and find a characterization of the corresponding interpolating sequences in terms of the existence of harmonic majorants of certain functions. We also consider the…
Consider a scaled Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation problem and let $\Pi$ be the Blaschke product whose zeros are the nodes of the problem. It is proved that if $\Pi$ belongs to a certain class of inner functions, then the extremal solutions of…
The nondegenerate Nevanlinna-Pick-Carath\'eodory-Fejer interpolation problem with finitely many interpolation conditions always has infinitely many solutions in a generalized Schur class $\cS_\kappa$ for every $\kappa\ge \kappa_{\rm min}$…
It is very elementary to observe that functions interpolating an extremal two-point Pick problem on the polydisc are just left inverses to complex geodesics. In the present article we show that the same property holds for a three-point Pick…
An indefinite generalization of Nudel'man's problem is used in a systematic approach to interpolation theorems for generalized Schur and Nevanlinna functions with interior and boundary data. Besides results on existence criteria for…
We consider a Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation problem on finite sequences of the unit disc D constrained by Hardy and radial-weighted Bergman norms. We find sharp asymptotics on the corresponding interpolation constants. As another…
We provide an effective single-matrix criterion, in terms of what we call the elementary Pick matrix, for the solvability of the noncommutative Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation problem in the row ball, and provide some applications. In…
We describe the set of inner functions of finite order in a multi-connected domain, then we consider an optimization formulation of the Pick-Nevanlinna interpolation problem, and we generalize it to Hermite type interpolation.
This paper concerns a commutant lifting theorem and a Nevanlinna-Pick type interpolation result in the setting of multipliers from vector-valued Drury-Arveson space to a large class of vector-valued reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces over…
We introduce a "dual-space approach" to mixed Nevanlinna-Pick/Carath\'eodory-Schur interpolation in Banach spaces X of holomorphic functions on the disk. Our approach can be viewed as complementary to the well-known commutant lifting…
We revisit four approaches to the BiTangential Operator Argument Nevanlinna-Pick (BTOA-NP) interpolation theorem on the right half plane: (1) the state-space approach of Ball-Gohberg-Rodman, (2) the Fundamental Matrix Inequality approach of…
We give a solution to Pick's interpolation problem on the unit polydisc in $\mathbb{C}^n$, $n\geq 2$, by characterizing all interpolation data that admit a $\mathbb{D}$-valued interpolant, in terms of a family of positive-definite kernels…
Unitary matrix-valued functions of frequency are matrix all-pass systems, since they preserve the norm of the input vector signals. Typically, such systems are represented and analyzed using their unitary-matrix valued frequency domain…
In this paper we introduce the concept of matrix-valued $q$-rational functions. In comparison to the classic case we give different characterizations with principal emphasise on realizations and discuss algebraic manipulations. We also…
