In Part I of this paper we present a theory of Padé-approximants for Laurent series, and discuss their relation to orthogonal polynomials. For earlier results in this direction we may refer to (1 ; 7; 8). It is also indicated how this theory can be extended, for example, to matrix polynomials.

Footnotes

Parts I and II of this paper cover parts of a thesis submitted by the author to the University of Amsterdam {General orthogonal polynomials, Groningen, 1956). This paper was completed while the author held a fellowship at the Summer Research Institute of the Canadian Mathematical Congress, Kingston, 1957. The author is greatly indebted to Professors Dr. J. Popken (Amsterdam) and Dr. F. van der Blij (Utrecht) for valuable hints and kind assistance during the preparation of this paper.
