Abstract
We consider a general bitangential interpolation problem for matrix Schur functions and focus mainly on the case when the associated Pick matrix is singular (and positive semidefinite). Descriptions of the set of all solutions are given in terms of special linear fractional transformations which are obtained using two quite different approaches. As applications of the obtained results we consider the maximum entropy and the maximum determinant extension problems suitably adapted to the degenerate situation.
