Summary

The final chapter completes the scattering theory with an elementary approach to inner embedding of a contractive, quasi-separable causal system (in engineering terms: the embedding of a lossy or passive system in a lossless system, often called Darlington synthesis). Such an embedding is always possible in the finitely indexed case but does not generalize to infinitely indexed matrices. (This last issue requires more advanced mathematical methods and lies beyond the subject matter of the book.)
