  • Abstract
    The problem considered in this paper is the following: given a symmetric sequence {r_{j}} which is not positive, (i.e. its Fourier transform takes on negative values), find a positive sequence {\\bar{r}_{j}} which is a good approximation to {r_{j}} . This problem arises, for example, when {r_{j}} is an estimated covariance sequence which is not positive, and a positive covariance sequence is desired. A solution to the positivity problem is given which uses state-space models and a scaled algebraic Riccati equation.
