Abstract:
We derive statements on rank invariance of Schwarz-Pick-Potapovblock matrices of matrix-valued Schur functions. The rank of these blockmatrices coincides with the rank of some block matrices built from the correspondingsection matrices of Taylor coefficients. These results are applied tothe discussion of a matrix version of the classical Schur-Nevanlinna algorithm.
