“…Applications of Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation abound in robust control [15,21,23,28,32,33,46,47], signal processing [4,5,6,9,25,31] and maximal power transfer [50] in circuit theory, to mention a few. Since the interpolant has a specific interpretation as a transfer function in all these applications, it is important to restrict its degree, and at the same time satisfy all design specifications.…”
