Abstract. The description of all solutions of the truncated Stieltjes matrix moment problem consisting in finding all s × s matrix measures dσ (t) on [0, ∞) with given first 2n + 1 power s × s matrix moments (Cj ) n j=0 is obtained in a general case, when the block Hankel matrix Γn := (C j+k ) n j,k=0 may be non-invertible. Special attention is paid to the description of canonical solutions for which dσ (t) is a sum of at most sn + s point matrix "masses" with the minimal sum of their ranks.
