INTEGRAL REPRESENTATION OF THEn-TH DERIVATIVE IN DE
BRANGES-ROVNYAK SPACES AND THE NORM CONVERGENCE

Abstract.In this paper, we give an integral representation for the boundary values
of derivatives of functions of the de Branges–Rovnyak spacesH(b), wherebis in the

unit ball ofH(C+). Inparticular, we generalize a result of Ahern–Clark obtained for
functions of the model spacesKb, wherebUsing hypergeometricis an inner function.

Then we apply this formula to show the norm convergence of reproducing kernelkω,nof

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
