Abstract
A generalization of Szegö's first limit theorem is deduced for a general class of block Toeplitz operators with Hilbert–Schmidt entries. Analogous formulas for Wiener–Hopf integral operators are derived, and by discretization a direct connection between the two types of asymptotics is established. For the continuous case the results are specified further for operators with a rational matrix symbol.
