Minimal representations of unitary operators and orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle

In this paper we obtain new results about the orthogonality measure of orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle, through the study of unitary truncations of the corresponding unitary multiplication operator, and the use of the five-diagonal representation of this operator. Unitary truncations on subspaces with finite co-dimension give information about the derived set of the support of the measure under very general assumptions for the related Schur parameters. Among other...

It is shown that monic orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle are the characteristic polynomials of certain five-diagonal matrices depending on the Schur parameters. This result is achieved through the study of orthogonal Laurent polynomials on the unit circle. More precisely, it is a consequence of the five term recurrence relation obtained for these orthogonal Laurent polynomials, and the one to one correspondence established between them and the orthogonal polynomials o...

An operator theoretic approach to orthogonal rational functions on the unit circle with poles in its exterior is presented in this paper. This approach is based on the identification of a suitable matrix representation of the multiplication operator associated with the corresponding orthogonality measure. Two different alternatives are discussed, depending whether we use for the matrix representation the standard basis of orthogonal rational functions, or a new one with poles...

Orthogonal rational functions (ORF) on the unit circle generalize orthogonal polynomials (poles at infinity) and Laurent polynomials (poles at zero and infinity). In this paper we investigate the properties of and the relation between these ORF when the poles are all outside or all inside the unit disk, or when they can be anywhere in the extended complex plane outside the unit circle. Some properties of matrices that are the product of elementary unitary transformations will...

We announce numerous new results in the theory of orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle.

In this paper we consider a general sequence of orthogonal Laurent polynomials on the unit circle and we first study the equivalences between recurrences for such families and Szego's recursion and the structure of the matrix representation for the multiplication operator when a general sequence of orthogonal Laurent polynomials on the unit circle is considered. Secondly, we analyze the computation of the nodes of the Szego quadrature formulas by using Hessenberg and five-dia...

This survey contains the introduction to the subject. Many new results are also included.

A very simple and short proof of the polynomial matrix spectral factorization theorem (on the unit circle as well as on the real line) is presented, which relies on elementary complex analysis and linear algebra.

Let there be given a probability measure $\mu$ on the unit circle $\TT$ of the complex plane and consider the inner product induced by $\mu$. In this paper we consider the problem of orthogonalizing a sequence of monomials $\{z^{r_k}\}_k$, for a certain order of the $r_k\in\mathbb{Z}$, by means of the Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization process. This leads to a basis of orthonormal Laurent polynomials $\{\psi_k\}_k$. We show that the matrix representation with respect to the basis...

In this paper we illustrate that paraorthogonality on the unit circle $\mathbb{T}$ is the counterpart to orthogonality on $\mathbb{R}$ when we are interested in the spectral properties. We characterize quasi-paraorthogonal polynomials on the unit circle as the analogues of the quasi-orthogonal polynomials on $\mathbb{R}$. We analyze the possibilities of preselecting some of its zeros, in order to build positive quadrature formulas with prefixed nodes and maximal domain of val...
