Abstract

If a known linear system is excited by Gaussian white noise, the calculation of the output covariance of the system is relatively straightforward. This paper considers the harder converse problem, that of passing from a known covariance to a system which will generate it. The problem is solved for covariances Ry(t, τ) with |Ry(t, t)| < ∞ for all t and such that the y-process is Gauss-Markov, i.e., it may be obtained as the output of a linear finite-dimensional system excited by white noise.
