Realization and Interpolation of Rational Matrix Functions

In this paper we generalize for matrix valued functions a number of well known interpolation problems for scalar rational functions and obtain explicit formulas for the solutions. The realization approach toward the study of rational matrix functions from systems theory serves here as the main tool. The main results recently appeared in the literature; here we give a more systematic and transparent exposition based exclusively on analysis in finite dimensional spaces.
