Conal Distances Between Rational Spectral Densities

9 Aug 2017  ·  Giacomo Baggio, Augusto Ferrante, Rodolphe Sepulchre ·

The paper generalizes Thompson and Hilbert metric to the space of spectral densities. The resulting complete metric space has the differentiable structure of a Finsler manifold with explicit geodesics. The resulting distances are filtering invariant, can be computed efficiently, and admit geodesic paths that preserve rationality; these are properties of fundamental importance in many engineering applications.
