Abstract

The state space theory from linear control theory is used as a tool to describe the action of automorphisms of a certain form acting on rational matrix functions. This class consists of automorphisms representable as the composition of a linear fractional change of variable together with the operations of inverse-transpose, conjugation and an inner automorphism. We also describe in state space terms minimal factorizations within the class of functions of a certain associated group.
