The Takagi problem on the disk and bidisk

Functional Analysis 2012-08-15 v1 Complex Variables

Abstract

We give a new proof on the disk that a Pick problem can be solved by a rational function that is unimodular on the unit circle and for which the number of poles inside the disk is no more than the number of non-positive eigenvalues of the Pick matrix. We use this method to find rational solutions to Pick problems on the bidisk.
