Abstract: Continuous analogs of orthogonal polynomials on the circle are solutions of a canonical system of differential equations, introduced and studied by M.G.Krein and recently generalized to matrix systems by L.A.Sakhnovich. We prove that the continuous analog of the adjoint polynomials converges in the upper half-plane in the case of L^2 coefficients, but in general the limit can be defined only up to a constant multiple even when the coefficients are in L^p for any p>2, the spectral measure is absolutely continuous and the Szego-Kolmogorov-Krein condition is satisfied. Thus we point out that Krein's and Sakhnovich's papers contain an inaccuracy, which does not undermine known implications from these results.


The paper discusses issues of convergence in Krein's and Sakhnovich's theorems on the continuous analog of orthogonal polynomials on the circle, i.e., convergence of solutions of canonical systems of differential equations in the scalar as well as in the matrix case. The author presents the corrected versions of these theorems, gives some sharp convergence results, and constructs examples illustrating nonconvergence and nonuniqueness of limiting functions.
