Frequency-Selective Vandermonde Decomposition of Toeplitz Matrices with Applications
The classical result of Vandermonde decomposition of positive semidefinite
Toeplitz matrices, which dates back to the early twentieth century, forms the
basis of modern subspace and recent atomic norm methods for frequency
estimation. In this paper, we study the Vandermonde decomposition in which the
frequencies are restricted to lie in a given interval, referred to as
frequency-selective Vandermonde decomposition. The existence and uniqueness of
the decomposition are studied under explicit conditions on the Toeplitz matrix.
The new result is connected by duality to the positive real lemma for
trigonometric polynomials nonnegative on the same frequency interval. Its
applications in the theory of moments and line spectral estimation are
illustrated. In particular, it provides a solution to the truncated
trigonometric -moment problem. It is used to derive a primal semidefinite
program formulation of the frequency-selective atomic norm in which the
frequencies are known {\em a priori} to lie in certain frequency bands.
