“…(The case that f (z) is a positive-real transfer function can be handled similarly to the spectral estimation problem). In [4], the interpolation condition, which links the number of data with the system order, is derived in Lemma 2 there. This condition is obtained under the assumption that the realization (A, β , 2c, γ/2) is minimal, which is equivalent to the minimality of (A, b, 2c, d).…”
