For $b\in H^\infty_1$, the closed unit ball of $H^\infty$, the de Branges-Rovnyak spaces $\mathcal{H}(b)$ is a Hilbert space contractively contained in the Hardy space $H^2$ that is invariant by the backward shift operator $S^*$. We…

We discuss de Branges-Rovnyak spaces $\mathcal H(b)$ generated by nonextreme and rational functions $b$ and local Dirichlet spaces of order $m$ introduced in [6]. In [6] the authors characterized nonextreme $b$ for which the operator…

We investigate expansive Hilbert space operators $T$ that are finite rank perturbations of isometric operators. If the spectrum of $T$ is contained in the closed unit disc $\overline{\mathbb{D}}$, then such operators are of the form $T=…

In this note, we describe the backward shift invariant subspaces for a large class of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. This class includes in particular de Branges-Rovnyak spaces (the non-extreme case) and the range space of co-analytic…

In this paper, we study the de Branges-Rovnyak spaces $\mathcal{H}(B)$ generated by row Schur functions $B$ with mate $a$. We prove that the polynomials are dense in $\mathcal{H}(B)$, and characterize the backward shift invariant subspaces…

For the class of de Branges-Rovnyak spaces $\mathcal{H}(b)$ of the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ defined by extreme points $b$ of the unit ball of $H^\infty$, we study the problem of approximation of a general function in $\mathcal{H}(b)$ by a…

The process of identifying a Dirichlet-type space $D(\mu)$ for a positive, Borel measure $\mu$, supported on the unit circle $\mathbb T,$ with a de Branges-Rovnyak space was initiated by Sarason. A characterization of the symbol for a de…

For a shift operator $T$ with finite multiplicity acting on a separable infinite dimensional Hilbert space we represent its nearly $T^{-1}$ invariant subspaces in terms of invariant subspaces under the backward shift. Going further, given…

The de Branges--Rovnyak spaces are known to provide an alternate functional model for contractions on a Hilbert space, equivalent to the Sz.-Nagy--Foias model. The scalar de Branges--Rovnyak spaces $\mathcal{H}(b)$ have essentially…

Given a function $b$, holomorphic on the disc and bounded by 1, one can construct an associated reproducing kernel Hilbert space called the de Branges--Rovnyak space $H(b)$. We explore representations of such spaces via descriptions of the…

This paper studies the function spaces $\mathcal{D}(\mu)$ by Richter and Aleman, and $\mathcal{D}_{\vec{\mu}}$ by the second author. It is known that the forward shift $M_z$ is bounded and expansive on $\mathcal{D}(\mu)$, and therefore…

We establish a connection between the de Branges-Rovnyak spaces and the Cowen-Douglas class of operators which is associated with complex geometric structures. We prove that the backward shift operator on a de Branges-Rovnyak space never…

For $S$ a contractive analytic operator-valued function on the unit disk ${\mathbb D}$, de Branges and Rovnyak associate a Hilbert space of analytic functions ${\mathcal H}(S)$. A companion survey provides equivalent definitions and basic…

In this paper we give an explicit description of de Branges-Rovnyak spaces $\HH(b)$ when $b$ is of the form $q^{r}$, where $q$ is a rational outer function in the closed unit ball of $H^{\infty}$ and $r$ is a positive number.

In this paper, we characterize the boundedness, the compactness and the Hilbert-Schmidt property for composition operators acting from a de Branges-Rovnyak space $\mathcal H(b)$ into itself, when $b$ is a rational function in the closed…
