Properties of the Realization of Inner Functions

Abstract. In this paper we investigate fundamental properties of state-space realizations for inner functions. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for the inner function to have a realization such that the associated C0-semigroup is exponentially stable. Furthermore, we give necessary and sufficient conditions on the inner function such that the C0-semigroup is a group. Combining these results, we have that the C0-semigroup is an exponentially stable C0-group if and only if the inner function is the product of a constant of modulus one and a Blaschke product for which the zeros satisfy the Carleson–Newman condition and the zeros lie in a vertical strip bounded away from the imaginary axis.
