Abstract The approximation problem of network synthesis is considered
in four parts. First, the problem is identified. Second, the several
existing methods of solving this problem are briefly discussed. This
discussion is necessary because the well known methods have inherent
limitations if they are to be ultimately applied to the other problem of
network synthesis, the realization problem. These inherent limitations
must be recognized before any new method, which perhaps avoids the
limitations, can be devised.
The third part is devoted to an iterative method of solving the
problem, which requires the use of a digital computer. This method
successfully avoids several of the difficulties associated with the other
methods. A function of the pole and zero coordinates is established
which becomes zero when coincidence between a realizable approximation
and an ideal response occurs. It has been found that a
modification of Newton's procedure for finding the real root of a polynomial
is capable of determining the unknown pole and zero coordinates.
The fourth part considers the unsolved questions associated with
the iterative method.
