## On the Kreĭn-Langer integral representation of generalized Nevanlinna functions.(English)Zbl 1059.47014

The paper is devoted to an analogue of the Kreǐn-Langer integral representation for matrix-valued generalized Nevanlinna functions $$v\in N_\kappa$$ $$(\kappa\geq 0)$$. The class $$N_\kappa$$ consists of the meromorphic $$m\times m$$ matrix functions $$v(z)$$ on the union $$\mathbb{C}_+\cup\mathbb{C}_-$$ of the upper and lower half-planes such that $$v(\bar{z})^*=v(z)$$ and the kernel $K(z,\zeta)=\frac{v(z)-v(\zeta)^*}{z-\bar{\zeta}}$ has $$\kappa$$ negative squares. The latter condition means that for any finite set of points $$z_1,\ldots,z_n$$ in the domain of analyticity of $$v(z)$$ and vectors $$c_1,\ldots,c_n$$ in $$\mathbb{C}^m$$, the matrix $$[c_kK(z_j,z_k)c_j]_{j,k=1}^n$$ has at most $$\kappa$$ negative eigenvalues, and at least one such matrix has exactly $$\kappa$$ negative eigenvalues (counting multiplicity).
The Nevanlinna integral representation for $$v\in N_\kappa$$ was established in the scalar case by M. G. Kreǐn and H. Langer [ibid. 77, 187–236 (1977; Zbl 0412.30020)] and for the matrix-valued functions by K. Daho and H. Langer [Math. Nachr. 120, 275-294 (1977; Zbl 0567.47030)].
The authors present a new version of the Kreǐn-Langer integral representation for matrix-valued generalized Nevanlinna functions $$v\in N_\kappa$$, which is closer to the scalar case. They also obtain a Stieltjes inversion formula for matrix functions $$v\in N_\kappa$$ and characterize two subclasses of $$N_\kappa$$ in terms of their Kreǐn-Langer integral representations.
