Convex optimization has emerged as a well-suited tool for passive approximation. Here, it is desired to approximate some pre-defined non-trivial system response over a given finite frequency band by using a passive system. This paper summarizes some explicit results concerning the Hilbert transform of general B-splines of arbitrary order and arbitrary partitions that can be useful with the convex optimization formulation. A numerical example in power engineering is included concerning the identification of some model parameters based on measurements on high-voltage insulation materials.
