The extended (J, J')-lossless factorization for discrete-time rational
matrix functions with zeros on the unit circle is considered. A neces
sary and sufficient condition for the existence of the extended (J, J'
)-lossless factorization is obtained. The condition is given in terms
of the original system parameters in the form of a generalized eigenva
lue problem and a discrete-time algebraic Riccati equation. State-spac
e representations for the extended (J, J')-lossless factorization are
provided. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Inc.
