“…Now, in view of (33), the problem is to estimate the norm , i.e., the norm of the system with the finite impulse response using the measurement information (30). From well-known results in SM theory (see, e.g., [17]), for any , the optimal estimate of is given by the central estimate (34) where (35) (36) and is the feasible error set defined as (37) with (38) From (35) and (36), recalling (33), it follows: (39) Then, the central estimate of is given by (40) The following theorem solves the problem of evaluating (35) and (36) Proof: To find the expressions of (35) and (36), note that is given by (46) Introducing the vector defined as in (42), one gets (47) so that, taking the real and imaginary parts of (47), the result is Re Im (48) The image of in (37) through the linear operator is the ellipse in the complex plane represented in real and imaginary components as (49) Then, it follows that if otherwise.…”
