Abstract

Given an arbitrary real sequence \(\left\{ {{g_i}} \right\}_{i = 1}^\infty \) elegant necessary and sufficiency conditions are known for the existence of an n × n matrix A, an n × 1 vector b and a 1 × n vector c, for some appropriate n, such that

$${g_i} = c{A^{i - 1}}b\,for i = 1,2, \ldots $$
