The Differential Operator D is a linear operator from C1[0,1] onto C[0,1]. Its domain C1[0,1] is thoroughly studied as a meager subspace of C[0,1]. This is analogous to the status of the set of all rational numbers Q in the set of the real numbers R. On the polynomial vector space Pn the Differential Operator D is a nilpotent operator. Using the invariant subspace and reducing subspace technique an appropriate basis for the underlying vector space can be found so that the nilpotent operator admits its Jordan Canonical form. The study of D on Pn is completely carried out. Finally, the solution space V of the nth order differential equation with leading coefficient one is studied. The behavior of D on V is explored using some notions from linear algebra and linear operators. NOTE- Due to the limitation of the above being in "text only form" , further details of this abstract can be viewed in the pdf file.

This dissertation contains two parts: Commutative and Noncommutative Multidimensional ($d$-D) Linear Systems Theory. The first part focuses on the development of the interpolation theory to solve the $H^{\infty}$ control problem for $d$-D linear systems. We first review the classical discrete-time 1D linear system in the operator theoretical viewpoint followed by the formulations of the so-called Givone-Roesser and Fornasini-Marchesini models. Application of the $d$-variable $Z$-transform to the system of equations yields the transfer function which is a rational function of several complex variables, say $\mathbf{z} = (z_{1}, \dots, z_{d})$. We then consider the output feedback stabilization problem for a plant $P(\mathbf{z})$. By assuming that $P(\mathbf{z})$ admits a double coprime factorization, then a set of stabilizing controllers $K(\mathbf{z})$ can be parametrized by the Youla parameter $Q(\mathbf{z})$. By doing so, one can convert such a problem to the model matching problem with performance index $F(\mathbf{z})$, affine in $Q(\mathbf{z})$. Then, with $F(\mathbf{z})$ as the design parameter rather than $Q(\mathbf{z})$, one has an interpolation problem for $F(\mathbf{z})$. Incorporation of a tolerance level on $F(\mathbf{z})$ then leads to an interpolation problem of multivariable Nevanlinna-Pick type. We also give an operator-theoretic formulation of the model matching problem which lends itself to a solution via the commutant lifting theorem on the polydisk. The second part details a system whose time-axis is described by a free semigroup $\mathcal{F}_{d}$. Such a system can be represented by the so-called noncommutative Givone-Roesser, or noncommutative Fornasini-Marchesini models which are analogous to those in the first part. Application of a noncommutative $d$-variable $Z$-transform to the system of equations yields the transfer function expressed by a formal power series in several noncommuting indeterminants, say $T(z) = \sum_{v \in \mathcal{F}_{d}}T_{v}z^{v}$ where $z^{v} = z_{i_{n}} \dotsm z_{i_{1}}$ if $v = g_{i_{n}} \dotsm g_{i_{1}} \in \mathcal{F}_{d}$ and $z_{i}z_{j} \neq z_{j}z_{i}$ unless $i = j$. The concepts of reachability, controllability, observability, similarity, and stability are introduced by means of the state-space interpretation. Minimal realization problems for noncommutative Givone-Roesser or Fornasini-Marchesini systems are solved directly by a shift-realization procedure constructed from appropriate noncommutative Hankel matrices. This procedure adapts the ideas of Schützenberger and Fliess originally developed for "recognizable series" to our systems. / Ph. D.
