“…In this connection, some work on band-limited identification has been published by Bai and Raman [1] in which they essentially approximate separately the real and imaginary parts of the transfer function by polynomials over the frequency interval , plugging 0018-9286/97$10.00 © 1997 IEEE in some arbitrary polynomial weight of sufficiently high degree to become the denominator off the approximant so as to end up with a stable and proper model. In doing so, they are not concerned about controlling the behavior of the set and, since their scheme is (real) linear, it is a routine matter to check, by the same arguments as in [12], that their sequence of estimates is unbounded outside for almost every noise in l 1 (i.e., for every noise sequence in a set of second category in the sense of Baire).…”
