On characterization theorems for measures associated with orthogonal systems of rational functions on the unit circle (Q1198156)

The author generalizes results on orthogonal polynomials for measures belonging to the Szegő class to the case of orthogonal rational functions on the unit circle. The orthogonal rational functions arise from a Malmquist system of rational functions with prescribed poles outside the unit disk by orthogonalising with respect to a finite positive Borel measure supported on the unit circle (infinitely many points of increase). Results on ratio- and n-th root asymptotics for the sequence of reproducing kernels are also given.
