26 Displacement Equation Given Φ : B(H) B(H) with Φ < 1 and B B(H), define the displacement equation (I B(H) Φ)(A) = B. Since Φ < 1, solve for A by computing the Neumann series A = (I B(H) Φ) 1 (B) = Φ k (B). k=0 We are interested in the case when Φ is completely positive. In this case, (I B(H) Φ) 1 is completely positive as well. Comparing Two s

27 Proof of Generalized NP Theorem (N. 2015) Step 1 Let z = z 1... z N displacement equation, U = I Ḥ. I H, and V = Λ 1. (I B(H) Φ z )(A) = UU VV, Λ N, and form the where Φ z (A) = z (I E A)z, and Φ z < 1 because z < 1. Comparing Two s

28 Proof Cont. Motivation Step 2 Observe The Pick matrix A = [ C(z i ) (I F (E) (I H Λ i Λ j))c(z j ) ] N i,j=1 is the unique solution of the displacement equation. We can rewrite the Pick matrix as A = U U V V, where U = [ C(z 1 ) C(z N ) ] and V = [ (I F (E) Λ 1 )C(z 1 ) (I F (E) Λ N )C(z N ) ]. Comparing Two s

32 Proof of Lemma Cont. Then T U T (E, H, σ) T 1 because T is the transfer map of the contractive time-varying system [ ] [ ] x(t) x(t + 1) = (I y(t) E t θ) u(t) TU = V Thus there exists X H (E σ ) with X 1 such that T = ρ(x ), and ρ(x ) U = V. Comparing Two s

33 Proof of Lemma Cont. ( ) If there exists X H (E σ ) such that X 1 and ρ(x ) U = V, then A = U U V V = U U U ρ(x )ρ(x ) U = U (I ρ(x )ρ(x ) )U 0 since X 1 and ρ is an isometry. Comparing Two s
