We give an algorithm for finding a solution to the Carath\'{e}odory-Fej\'{e}r interpolation problem on the polydisc $\mathbb D^n,$ whenever it exists. A necessary condition for the existence of a solution becomes apparent from this…
The Carath\'{e}odory problem in the $N$-variable non-commutative Herglotz--Agler class and the Carath\'{e}odory--Fej\'{e}r problem in the $N$-variable non-commutative Schur--Agler class are posed. It is shown that the Carath\'{e}odory…
The celebrated Sz.-Nagy and Foias and Ando theorems state that a single contraction, or a pair of commuting contractions, acting on a Hilbert space always possesses isometric dilation and subsequently satisfies the von Neumann inequality…
We give an elementary proof of a solvability criterion for the {\em boundary Carath\'{e}odory-Fej\'{e}r problem}: given a point $x \in \R$ and, a finite set of target values, to construct a function $f$ in the Pick class such that the first…
Recent work of Kosi\'nski on the three point Pick interpolation problem on the polydisc proves the von Neumann inequality for 3x3 matrices. We give a detailed explanation of this using several standard reductions---credit for the main…
Motivated by Ball, Li, Timotin and Trent's Schur-Agler class version of commutant lifting theorem, we introduce a class, denoted by $\mathcal{P}_n(\mathcal{H})$, of $n$-tuples of commuting contractions on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$. We…
We prove a Caratheodory-Fejer type interpolation theorem for certain matrix convex sets in $\C^d$ using the Blecher-Ruan-Sinclair characterization of abstract operator algebras. Our results generalize the work of Dmitry S.…
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…
It is shown that the constant $c_{d,3}$ in von Neumann's inequality for d-tuples of commutative and row contractive $3\times3$ matrices, as proved by Hartz, Richter, and Shalit in [2], is independent of the size of the d-tuple. A numerical…
We give an elementary proof of the folklore result that the Agler norm of a function is determined by its norm on commuting tuples of nilpotent matrices. The proof is variation on a standard cone separation argument. The topic is closely…
We prove that for all $n\in \mathbb{N}$, there exists a constant $C_{n}$ such that for all $d \in \mathbb{N}$, for every row contraction $T$ consisting of $d$ commuting $n \times n$ matrices and every polynomial $p$, the following…
The study is made of the problem of multiple interpolation on an infinite nodes set by the sums of absolutely convergent series of exponentials whose exponents are from a given set. For entire function conditions on nodes and exponents are…
We provide a necessary condition for the existence of a 3-point holomorphic interpolant $F:\mathbb{D}\longrightarrow\Omega_n$, $n\geq 2$. Our condition is inequivalent to the necessary conditions hitherto known for this problem. The…
In this paper we give sufficient conditions for a compactum in $\mathbb R^n$ to have Carath\'{e}odory number less than $n+1$, generalizing an old result of Fenchel. Then we prove the corresponding versions of the colorful Carath\'{e}odory…
In this paper, we extend the classical Bohr's inequality to the setting of the non-commutative Hardy space $H^1$ associated with a semifinite von Neumann algebra. As a consequence, we obtain Bohr's inequality for operators in the von…
We show that every multivariable contractive weighted shift dilates to a tuple of commuting unitaries, and hence satisfies von Neumann's inequality. This answers a question of Lubin and Shields. We also exhibit a closely related $3$-tuple…
The condition numbers $CN(T)==||T|| .||T^{-1}|| $ of Toeplitz and analytic $n\times n$ matrices $T$ are studied. It is shown that the supremum of $CN(T)$ over all such matrices with $||T|| \leq1$ and the given minimum of eigenvalues…
In this paper, we prove that a Thue equation F(x,y) = h, where h is an integer and F is a polynomial of degree n with integer coefficients and without repeated roots, has at most 2n^3 - 2n - 3 solutions provided that the Mordell-Weil rank…
Given a $d$-tuple $T$ of commuting contractions on Hilbert space and a polynomial $p$ in $d$-variables, we seek upper bounds for the norm of the operator $p(T)$. Results of von Neumann and And\^o show that if $d=1$ or $d=2$, the upper bound…
The theorem on the existence of three commuting contractions on a Hilbert space and of a linear homogeneous matrix function of three independent variables for which the generalized von Neumann inequality fails is proved.
