Theory of multiple j-elementary matrix-valued functions with a pole at the boundary of the unit circle

The theory of a matrix-valued function (), j-elementary in the unit circle and having a pole at the point ₀, ¦₀¦=1, on the boundary of the unit circle, is considered. The structure of () is determined, conditions for the splittingoff of () from an arbitrary matrix-valued function W(), j-expanding in ¦|< 1, are formed, a theorem on the parametrization of a j-elementary matrix-valued function () of full rank is proved, and a decomposition of () of full rank into the product of parametrized j-elementary factors of full rank with simple poles at the point ₀ is found.Translated from Teoriya Funktsii, Funktsional'nyi Analiz i Ikh Prilozheniya, No. 50, pp. 62–74, 1988.
