Cyclicity in reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces of analytic functions

Abstract

We introduce a large family of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces $\mathcal{H} \subset \mbox{Hol}(\mathbb{D})$, which include the classical Dirichlet-type spaces $\mathcal{D}_\alpha$, by requiring normalized monomials to form a Riesz basis for $\mathcal{H}$. Then, after precisely evaluating the $n$-th optimal norm and the $n$-th approximant of $f(z)=1-z$, we completely characterize the cyclicity of functions in $\mbox{Hol}(\overline{\mathbb{D}})$ with respect to the forward shift.
