Every two variable rational inner function on the bidisk has a special representation called a transfer function realization. It is well known and related to important ideas in operator theory that this does not extend to three or more…
We call a multivariable polynomial an Agler denominator if it is the denominator of a rational inner function in the Schur-Agler class, an important subclass of the bounded analytic functions on the polydisk. We give a necessary and…
We study representations of inner functions on the bidisc from a fractional linear transformation point of view, and provide sufficient conditions, in terms of colligation matrices, for the existence of two-variable inner functions. Here…
We establish the existence of a finite-dimensional unitary realization for every matrix-valued rational inner function from the Schur--Agler class on a unit square-matrix polyball. In the scalar-valued case, we characterize the denominators…
We define the Schur-Agler class in infinite variables to consist of functions whose restrictions to finite dimensional polydisks belong to the Schur-Agler class. We show that a natural generalization of an Agler decomposition holds and the…
A seminal result of Agler characterizes the so-called Schur-Agler class of functions on the polydisk in terms of a unitary colligation transfer function representation. We generalize this to the unit ball of the algebra of multipliers for a…
We analyze certain compositions of rational inner functions in the unit polydisk $\mathbb{D}^{d}$ with polydegree $(n,1)$, $n\in \mathbb{N}^{d-1}$, and isolated singularities in $\mathbb{T}^d$. Provided an irreducibility condition is met,…
There is a known generalization of the classical Schwarz lemma to holomorphic functions from the polydisk to the disk. In this paper, we characterize those functions which satisfy equality everywhere in this generalized inequality: they are…
The Schur class, denoted by $\mathcal{S}(\mathbb{D})$, is the set of all functions analytic and bounded by one in modulus in the open unit disc $\mathbb{D}$ in the complex plane $\mathbb{C}$, that is \[ \mathcal{S}(\mathbb{D}) = \{\varphi…
This article examines three radii associated to bounded analytic functions on the polydisk: the well-known Bohr radius, the Bohr-Agler radius, and the Schur-Agler radius. We prove explicit upper and lower bounds for the Bohr-Agler radius,…
We present some thoughts on the relation between symmetric Schur-class functions on the bidisk and Schur-class functions on the symmetrized bidisk. Among other things, use of this relation leads to a finite dimensional realization result…
The Bessmertny\u{\i} class consists of rational matrix-valued functions of $d$ complex variables representable as the Schur complement of a block of a linear pencil $A(z)=z_1A_1+\cdots+z_dA_d$ whose coefficients $A_k$ are positive…
Given a collection of test functions, one defines the associated Schur-Agler class as the intersection of the contractive multipliers over the collection of all positive kernels for which each test function is a contractive multiplier. We…
We give a simplified exposition of Kummert's approach to proving that every matrix-valued rational inner function in two variables has a minimal unitary transfer function realization. A slight modification of the approach extends to…
The notion of a unitary realization is used to estimate derivatives of arbitrary order of functions in the Schur-Agler class on the polydisk and unit ball.
We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for operator-valued functions on arbitrary sets associated with a collection of test functions to have factorizations in several situations.
We establish a new description of the Schur-Agler norm of a holomorphic function on the polydisc as the solution of a convex optimization problem. Consequences of this description are explored both from a theoretical and from a practical…
The Schur-Agler class consists of functions over a domain satisfying an appropriate von Neumann inequality. Originally defined over the polydisk, the idea has been extended to general domains in multivariable complex Euclidean space with…
We define and study rational discrete analytic functions and prove the existence of a coisometric realization for discrete analytic Schur multipliers.
