Abstract

We define two versions of compositions of matrix-valued rational functions of appropriate sizes and whenever analytic at infinity, offer a set of formulas for the corresponding state-space realization, in terms of the realizations of the original functions. Focusing on positive real functions, the first composition is applied to electrical circuits theory along with introducing a connection to networks of feedback loops. The second composition is applied to Stieltjes functions.
