Abstract: We discuss the following extremal problem and its relevance to the sum of the so-called superoptimal singular values of a matrix function: Given an mimesn matrix function Phi on the unit circle mathbbT, when is there a matrix function Psi in the set Akn,m such that int_{mathbb{T}}{ m trace}(Phi(zeta)Psi_{*}(zeta))dm(zeta)=sup_{Psiin A_{k}^{n,m}}|int_{mathbb{T}}{ m trace}(Phi(zeta)Psi(zeta))dm(zeta)|? The set Akn,m is defined by A_{k}^{n,m}={Psiin H_{0}^{1}: |Psi|_{L^{1}}leq 1, { m rank}Psi(zeta)leq k{a.e.}zetain T}. We introduce Hankel-type operators on spaces of matrix functions and prove that this problem has a solution if and only if the corresponding Hankel-type operator has a maximizing vector. We also characterize the smallest number k for which int_{mathbb{T}}{ m trace}(Phi(zeta)Psi(zeta))dm(zeta) equals the sum of all the superoptimal singular values of an admissible matrix function Phi for some PsiinAkn,m. Moreover, we provide a representation of any such function Psi when Phi is an admissible very badly approximable unitary-valued nimesn matrix function.
