A new description is given of all solutions to the relaxed commutant lifting problem. The method of proof is also different from earlier ones, and uses only an operator-valued version of a classical lemma on harmonic majorants.
A discrete analog of a skew selfadjoint canonical (Zakharov-Shabat or AKNS) system with a pseudo-exponential potential is introduced. For the corresponding Weyl function the direct and inverse problem are solved explicitly in terms of three parameter matrices. As an application explicit solutions are obtained for the discrete integrable nonlinear equation corresponding to the isotropic Heisenberg magnet model. State space techniques from mathematical system theory play an important role in the proofs.
