Rational Covariance Extension, Multivariate Spectral Estimation, and Related Moment Problems: Further Results and Applications
DIPARTIMENTO DI INGEGNERIA DELL'INFORMAZIONE Rational Covariance Extension, Multivariate Spectral Estimation, and Related Moment Problems: Further Results and Applications Ph.D. Candidate: Bin ZHU Advisor: Prof. Giorgio PICCI Coordinator: Prof. Andrea NEVIANI Ph.D. School in Information Engineering Department of Information Engineering University of Padova 2018 iv University of Padova Department of Information Engineering Ph.D. Course in Information Engineering Information and Communication Technologies The Automatica Group Rational Covariance Extension, Multivariate Spectral Estimation, and Related Moment Problems: Further Results and Applications Coordinator: Prof. Andrea NEVIANI Supervisor: Prof. Giorgio PICCI Ph.D. Student: Bin ZHU vi Acknowledgements First I would like to thank my advisor Prof. Giorgio Picci, who is really an inventor of ideas when dealing with research problems. He is also very generous with his time, encouraging, and gives me plenty of freedom to work on problems that I would like to pursue. He is willing to help, whether in research or daily life. He is surely humorous and knows a load of funny gossips of people in academia. I enjoy talking with him a lot. I am also grateful for the support from my family, especially my wife Bili 钟碧莉 and my little daughter Giulietta 朱纯熙 who was born in November 2017. They have made me a better human being in terms of interaction with people, in particular family members, although I am still learning and trying to improve. There have been difficult situations in the past year for us, even more so for Bili since she has the major responsibility of nourishing Giulietta while at the same time she has to continue her Ph.D. -

Recollections of the MTNS
mtnsStory.tex October 19, 2012 Recollections of the MTNS Whats Up? Margreta Kuijper suggested on the occasion of the 20th meeting of the MTNS we have some effort toward recovering the history of the organization (pardon the oxymoron). This occasion being the first effort along historical lines, appropriate now is gathering data, gathering stories, detecting some of the trends and then having a beer. Later someone can put a balance in these descriptions and distill accurate advice, so others can avoid our mistakes. Our story starts with Bill Helton's recollections of the liftoff of the MTNS from nothing to becoming one of the world's most prominent theoretical systems meeting. Slides from Bill's talk.1 Chris Byrnes' favorite maxim was \if your only tool is a hammer then every problem is a nail", from which it follows that operator theory will loom large in Bill's story and other important subjects will appear to be specs at the periphery. Joe Ball next recalls the Delft 1979 meeting and some of its antecedents. After that, Anders Lindquist tells the wild tale of Stockholm in 1985. Yutaka Yamamoto describes the history of MTNS in Japan which started in 1991. After that Joachim Rosenthal describes how coding theory flowed into the MTNS and the Notre Dame meeting in 2002. These notes were assembled by Bill Helton, so the gross distortions you see should be attributed to him. There is a slot in this .tex file for those with their own accounts, so all observers are encouraged to contribute. Please send your tall tales to Bill. -
