De Branges-Rovnyak spaces generated by row Schur functions with mate

In this paper, we study the de Branges-Rovnyak spaces $\mathcal{H}(B)$ generated by row Schur functions $B$ with mate $a$. We prove that the polynomials are dense in $\mathcal{H}(B)$, and characterize the backward shift invariant subspaces of $\mathcal{H}(B)$. We then describe the cyclic vectors in $\mathcal{H}(B)$ when $B$ is of finite rank and $\dim (a{H}^2{)}^{\perp }<\mathrm{\infty }$.
