Inverse results on row sequences of Hermite-Pad\'e approximation

We consider row sequences of (type II) Hermite-Pad\'e approximations with common denominator associated with a vector ${\bf f}$ of formal power expansions about the origin. In terms of the asymptotic behavior of the sequence of common denominators, we describe some analytic properties of ${\bf f}$ and restate some conjectures corresponding to questions once posed by A. A. Gonchar for row sequences of Pad\'e approximants.
