Abstract

Given a Hermitian matrix H, a matrix U is said to be H-unitary if UHHU = H. We consider the following extension problem: If U0 is a rectangular matrix such that UH0HU0 = A, where A is a leading principal submatrix of H, can U0 be extended to an H-unitary matrix? After presenting necessary conditions for a more general situation, we state a necessary and sufficient criterion for this problem and give a description of all its solutions. Finally, these results are used to derive some properties of factorizations of Hermitian Toeplitz matrices.
