Meromorphic Inner Functions (MIFs) on the upper half plane play an important role in applications to spectral problems for differential operators. In this paper, we survey some recent results concerning function theoretic properties of MIFs and show their connections with spectral problems for the Schrödinger operator.

Let $u$ be an inner function and $K_u^2$ be the corresponding model space. For an inner function $v$, the subspace $v{H}^2$ is an invariant subspace of the unilateral shift operator on $H^2$. In this article, using the structure of a Toeplitz kernel $\ker T_{\overline{u}v}$, we study the intersection $K_u^2\cap v{H}^2$ by properties of inner functions $u$ and $v$$(v...$
