Realization of tensor-product and of tensor-Factorization of rational functions

Abstract

We here first study the state space realization of a tensor-product of a pair of rational functions. At the expense of "inflating" the dimensions, we recover the classical expressions for realization of a regular product of rational functions. Then, under an additional assumption that the limit at infinity of a given rational function exists and is equal to identity, an explicit formula for a tensor-factorization of this function, is introduced.
