Abstract: The main aim of this paper is to establish the connection between well-known criteria for the pseudocontinuability of a non-inner Schur function Theta in the unit disk. In a canonical way we associate a probability measure mu on the unit circle with Theta. One of the two criteria will be reformulated in the face of mu, whereas the other one is drafted in view of a completely non--unitary contraction T having Theta as its corresponding characteristic function. Our main result clarifies an immediate connection between the above-mentioned two criteria. For this reason, we construct a special orthogonal basis in the space of square-integrable functions with respect to mu and rewrite these criteria in terms of this orthogonal basis.


There is a canonical correspondence between the class of Schur functions \(\theta\) in the unit disk \(\mathbb D\) and the class of probability measures \(\mu\) on the unit circle \(\mathbb T\), given by \[ \frac{1+z\theta(z)}{1-z\theta(z)}=\int_{\mathbb T} \frac{t+z}{t-z}\,\mu(dt), \quad z\in \mathbb D. \] The following criterion of pseudocontinuability of \(\theta\) is one of the main result of the paper. A non-inner Schur function \(\theta\) is pseudocontinuable if and only if \(\mu\) belongs to the Szegő class and the Szegő function is pseudocontinuable. The connection between this criterion and another one based on a completely non-unitary contraction having \(\theta\) as the characteristic function is established. The authors rewrite both criteria in terms of orthogonal polynomials on \(\mathbb T\) with respect to \(\mu\).
