It is well known that zeros and poles of a single-input, single-output system in the transfer function form are the roots of the transfer function's numerator and the denominator polynomial, respectively. However, in the state-space form,…

Formally symmetric differential operators on weighted Hardy-Hilbert spaces are analyzed, along with adjoint pairs of differential operators. Eigenvalue problems for such operators are rather special, but include many of the classical…
