Summary

We strengthen the existing definition of (J,J)-lossless rational matrices (RMs) and find an algebraic characterization of the newly defined class of strongly (J,J)-lossless RMs. The algebraic characterization is given for possibly improper RMs. A connection is presented to a rational problem, known as the Leech problem, which is elaborated on with necessary and sufficient conditions, given in terms of the strongly (J,J)-lossless property, as an alternative of the Leech conditions, which can be expressed with positivity of a kernel. An algorithm for solving the Leech problem is given and illustrated by examples.
