Abstract

A lower bound for the number of independent range conditions on Redheffer’s -product is derived in two and three dimensions. In two dimensions this bound is tight. Although the complexity of analysis increases with dimension, the technique of introducing a “slit” should apply to higher dimensions. Therefore, only two and three dimensional systems are considered here.
