Orthogonal Matrix-valued Polynomials and Applications

This paper is a largely expository account of the theory of p x p matrix polyno­ mials associated with Hermitian block Toeplitz matrices and some related problems of interpolation and extension. Perhaps the main novelty is the use of reproducing kernel Pontryagin spaces to develop parts of the theory in what hopefully the reader will regard as a reasonably lucid way. The topics under discussion ar...
