Abstract: We study in this paper very badly approximable matrix functions on the unit circle $T$, i.e., matrix functions $Phi$ such that the zero function is a superoptimal approximation of $Phi$. The purpose of this paper is to obtain a characterization of the continuous very badly approximable functions. Our characterization is more geometric than algebraic characterizations earlier obtained in cite{PY} and cite{AP}. It involves analyticity of certain families of subspaces defined in terms of Schmidt vectors of the matrices $Phi(z)$, $zinT$. This characterization can be extended to the wider class of {em admissible} functions, i.e., the class of matrix functions $Phi$ such that the essential norm $|H_{P}hi{|}_{me}$ of the Hankel operator $H_{P}hi$ is less than the smallest nonzero superoptimal singular value of $Phi$. In the final section we obtain a similar characterization of badly approximable matrix functions.
