Abstract. Following ideas from the Abstract Interpolation Problem of [26] for Schur class functions, we study a general metric constrained interpolation problem for functions from a vector-valued de BrangesRovnyak space ℋ( ) associated with an operator-valued Schur class function . A description of all solutions is obtained in terms of functions from an associated de Branges-Rovnyak space satisfying only a bound on the de Branges-Rovnyak-space norm. Attention is also paid to the case that the map which provides this description is injective. The interpolation problem studied here contains as particular cases (1) the vector-valued version of the interpolation problem with operator argument considered recently in [4] (for the nondegenerate and scalar-valued case) and (2) a boundary interpolation problem in ℋ( ). In addition, we discuss connections with results on kernels of Toeplitz operators and nearly invariant subspaces of the backward shift operator.Mathematics Subject Classification (2010). 46E22, 47A57, 30E05.
