Fast communicationPole position problem for Meixner filters
Introduction
Seydnejad and Ebrahimi [1] stress the importance of an explicit solution to the pole position problem in broadband beamforming. This study indicates that finding the optimal pole of the discrete Laguerre filters enables to obtain a better beamformer response and, by that, to ensure the output without any distortion. According to an extensive body of knowledge on using the Meixner-like functions in signal processing applications [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], the Meixner filters can be an effective alternative to the discrete Laguerre filters in attempt to improve the results to a greater degree. This fact is attributed to an extra parameter that permits providing better series expansions [2]. As a consequence, a number of studies have set out the solutions to the extra parameter optimization problem [7], [8]. But, there seemed little attention to be drawn to the explicit solution to this problem. Thus, the present study raises the issue of solving the two-parameter pole position problem drawing primarily on the work [9] that provides the theoretical outcomes in solving the pole position problem for the discrete Laguerre filters that needs to be extended. In addition, this research casts doubt on Brinker׳s statement [2] that “Meixner filters are not realizable since Meixner functions do not have a rational z-transform” putting forward rational Meixner filters as rational Laplace transforms of the generalized Laguerre functions [9] converted into z-transforms.

Problem statement
For each fixed pole , where , and , in the Hilbert space , the generalized Laguerre functions given by are orthogonal with respect to the nonnegative weight function over the interval and the norm . Therefore, the Laplace transform of can be defined as [9]The filters can be mapped onto a rational z-transform
Computational experiments
To test the proposed approach and to bear out the theoretical outcomes, we now provide a couple of examples chosen from the literature. The first example was previously considered in [9] to illustrate the pole position problem solving results for the discrete Laguerre filters. So, for the sake of comparison, we provided the same example to prove the validity of the proposed extension to the Meixner filters. The choice of the second example is motivated by the literature review. As noted in [2],
Conclusion
In this study, we posed the two-parameter pole position problem for the Meixner filters. To solve this problem, we first extended the theoretical findings in solving the pole position problem for the discrete Laguerre filters to the case of the proposed Meixner filters. Then, we proposed an approach to solving based on the connection coefficients method. To test this approach, to verify the theoretical results, and to point up the positive outcomes of using the

We note that in [26] only the optimality conditions are introduced and in [2,8] the M-L pole is given via the response impulse which is difficult to generate from a real system. However, the most main advantage of our proposed methods is that they need only input and output measurements of the system.

In [6,19], the Meixner-like pole is given via the response impulse that can be hard to generate from real system and only the optimality condition is developed in [29]. However, the most special advantage of our proposed method is that it requires only on knowledge, a priori, of a set of input/output observations collected on the system.
New methods of Laguerre pole optimization for the ARX model expansion on Laguerre bases
2017, ISA TransactionsCitation Excerpt :We note that these bases are characterized by a set of poles; the choice of which strongly influences the parsimony of the expansion. The problem of optimum choice of the free parameter of some orthogonal functions (Laguerre, Kautz, Meixner) for the conventional system modeling has already been reported by many researchers [5–7,11–15,18,19]. Some authors were interested by the optimization of the GOB poles, Den Brinker et al. [20] developed a method to recursively determine GOB poles.
