Stabilization of certain two-dimensional recursive digital filters

Abstract
A possible extension of a well-known stabilization technique for one-dimensional recursive digital filters to the two-dimensional case was proposed by Shanks via a conjecture, stating that the planar least squares inverse of a two-dimensional filter polynomial is minimum phase and hence stable. In the present work, the conjecture has been verified first for a class of polynomials which are linear in one variable and quadratic in the other and then extended to a class of polynomials of higher degrees in the same variables. Though the conjecture is known to be false, in general, some conditions under which the conjecture is valid are explored.
