Abstract

Problems of Nehari type are studied for matrix valued k-variable almost periodic Wiener functions: Find contractive k-variable almost periodic Wiener functions having prespecified Fourier coefficients with indices in a given halfspace of ℝ. We characterize the existence of a solution, give a construction of the solution set, and exhibit a particular solution that has a certain maximizing property. These results are used to obtain various distance formulas and multivariable almost periodic extensions of Sarason's theorem. In the periodic case, a generalization of Sarason's theorem is proved using a variation of the commutant lifting theorem. The main results are further applied to a model-matching problem for multivariable linear filters.
