Thanks to the pioneer works of Sarason, e.g.[18], we know that de Branges-Rovnyak
spaces have an important role to be played in numerous questions of complex analysis and
operator theory.We mention a recent paper of A. Hartmann, D. Sarason and K. Seip [15]
who give a nice characterization of surjectivity of Toeplitz operator and the proof involves
the de Branges-Rovnyak spaces.We also refer to works of J. Shapiro [19, 20] concerning
the notion of angular derivative for holomorphic self-maps of the unit disk.See also a
paper of J. Anderson and J. Rovnyak [3], where generalized Schwarz-Pick estimates are
given and a paper of M. Jury [17], where composition operators are studied by methods
based onH(b) spaces.
In the case wherebis an inner function, H. Helson [16] studied the problem of analytic
continuation across the boundary for functions inKb. Then,still whenbis an inner
function, P. Ahern and D. Clark [1] characterized those pointsx0ofRwhere every function
