Abstract

In the first paper of this series (Daniel Alpay, Tomas Azizov, Aad Dijksma, and Heinz Langer: The Schur algorithm for generalized Schur functions I: Coisometric realizations, Operator Theory: Advances and Applications 129 (2001), pp. 1-36) it was shown that for a generalized Schur function s(z), which is the characteristic function of a coisometric colligation V with state space being a Pontryagin space, the Schur transformation corresponds to a finite-dimensional reduction of the state space, and a finite-dimensional perturbation and compression of its main operator. In the present paper we show that these formulas can be explained using simple relations between V and the colligation of the reciprocal s(z)-1 of the characteristic function s(z) and general factorization results for characteristic functions.
