Summary: We derive a result on the boundedness of the multiplicity of the singular values for Hankel operator, whose symbol is of the form

$\begin{equation*} F(z):=\int\frac{\mathrm{d}\mes(t)}{z-t}+R(z), \end{equation*}$ where

$\mes$ is a complex measure with infinitely many points in its support which is contained in the interval

$(-1,1)$ , and whose argument has bounded variation there, while

$R$ is a rational function with all its poles inside of the unit disk. For that we use results on the zero distribution of polynomials satisfying the orthogonality relations of the form

$\begin{equation*} \int t^jq_n(t)Q(t)\frac{w_n(t)}{\widetilde q_n^2(t)}\mathrm{d}\mes(t)=0, \quad j=0,\ldots,n-s-1, \end{equation*}$ where

$Q$ is the denominator of

$R$ ,

$s\!=\!\deg(\!Q\!)$ ,

$\widetilde q_n(\!z\!)\!\!=\!\!z^n\overline{q_n\!(1\!/\overline z)}$ is the reciprocal polynomial of

$q$ , and

$\{\!w_n\!\}$ is the outer factor of an

$n$ -th singular vector of

$\ho_F$ .
