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…

The connection between the standard $H^\infty$-problem in control theory and Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation in operator theory was established in the 1980s, and has led to a fruitful cross-pollination between the two fields since. In the…

Peak interpolation is concerned with a foundational kind of mathematical task: building functions in a fixed algebra $A$ which have prescribed values or behaviour on a fixed closed subset (or on several disjoint subsets). In this paper we…

Recently, Charpentier showed that there exist holomorphic functions $f$ in the unit disk such that, for any proper compact subset $K$ of the unit circle, any continuous function $\phi$ on $K$ and any compact subset $L$ of the unit disk,…

For a Hilbert function space $\mathcal H$ the Smirnov class $\mathcal N^+(\mathcal H)$ is defined to be the set of functions expressible as a ratio of bounded multipliers of $\mathcal H$, whose denominator is cyclic for the action of…

Let $(\mathcal{H}_k, \mathcal{H}_{\ell})$ be a pair of Hilbert function spaces with kernels $k, \ell$. In a 2005 paper, Shimorin showed that a certain factorization condition on $(k, \ell)$ yields a commutant lifting theorem for multipliers…

We study the multiplier algebras $A(\mathcal{H})$ obtained as the closure of the polynomials on certain reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces $\mathcal{H}$ on the ball $\mathbb{B}_d$ of $\mathbb{C}^d$. Our results apply, in particular, to the…

Scalar rational functions with a non-negative real part on the right half plane, called positive, are classical in the study of electrical networks, dissipative systems, Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation and other areas. We here study…

Given a von Neumann algebra $M$ and a $W^{\ast}$-correspondence $E$ over $M$, we construct an algebra $H^{\infty}(E)$ that we call the Hardy algebra of $E$. When $M=\mathbb{C}=E$, then $H^{\infty}(E)$ is the classical Hardy space…

We show that a discrete sequence $\Lambda$ of the unit disk is the union of $n$ interpolating sequences for the Nevanlinna class $N$ if and only if the trace of $N$ on $\Lambda$ coincides with the space of functions on $\Lambda$ for which…

We generalize to the setting of Arveson's maximal subdiagonal subalgebras of finite von Neumann algebras, the Szeg\"o $L^p$-distance estimate, and classical theorems of F. and M. Riesz, Gleason and Whitney, and Kolmogorov. In so doing, we…

Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation developed from a topic in classical complex analysis to a useful tool for solving various problems in control theory and electrical engineering. Over the years many extensions of the original problem were…

We give an elementary proof of Sarason's solvability criterion for the Nevanlinna-Pick problem with boundary interpolation nodes and boundary target values. We also give a concrete parametrization of all solutions of such a problem. The…

Starting with a solvable Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation problem with the initial data coming from the symmetrized bidisk, this paper studies the corresponding uniqueness set, i.e., the largest set in the domain where all solutions to the…

We give a set of test functions for the interpolation problem on $H_1^\infty$ , the constrained interpolation problem studied by Davidson, Paulsen, Raghupathi and Singh. We show that this set of test functions is minimal.

It is known (implicit in [HMNT]) that when $\Lambda$ is an interpolating sequence for the Nevanlinna or the Smirnov class then there exist functions $f_\lambda$ in these spaces, with uniform control of their growth and attaining values 1 on…

Two different problems are considered here. First, a version of Schwarz-Pick Lemma for $n$ points leads to an interpolation problem for analytic functions from the disc into itself, which may be considered as a particular case of the…

Given a subset $\Lambda$ of $\mathbb Z_+:=\{0,1,2,\dots\}$, let $H^\infty(\Lambda)$ denote the space of bounded analytic functions $f$ on the unit disk whose coefficients $\widehat f(k)$ vanish for $k\notin\Lambda$. Assuming that either…

We give an elementary proof that the $H^p$ spaces over the unit disc (or the upper half plane) are the interpolation spaces for the real method of interpolation between $H^1$ and $H^\infty$. This was originally proved by Peter Jones. The…

For $S$ a contractive analytic operator-valued function on the unit disk ${\mathbb D}$, de Branges and Rovnyak associate a Hilbert space of analytic functions ${\mathcal H}(S)$. A companion survey provides equivalent definitions and basic…
