Boundary Nevanlinna-Pick Interpolation with Prescribed Peak Points. Application to Impedance Matching

We study a generalized Nevanlinna Pick interpolation problem on the half-plane for rational functions of prescribed degree, where peak points are imposed and interpolation conditions may lie on the real axis. This generalizes previous work by T. Giorgiou, C. Byrnes, A Lindquist and A. Megretski. The problem is motivated by the issue of broadband matching in electronics and microwave system design. We prove existence and uniqueness of a solution by differential-topological techniques. The approach is put to work numerically on a real example, using a continuation method.
