Invertibility of matrix Wiener--Hopf plus Hankel operators with APW Fourier symbols (Q2644142): Difference between revisions

A Wiener--Hopf plus Hankel operator is of the form \[ \begin{aligned} WH_\Phi &= W_\Phi+H_\Phi: [L_+^2(\mathbb R)]^N\to [L^2(\mathbb R_+)]^N, \\ \text{where \(W_\Phi\) stands for the Wiener--Hopf operator defined by} W_\Phi &= r_+\mathcal F^{-1}\Phi\mathcal F: [L_+^2(\mathbb R)]^N\to [L^2(\mathbb R_+)]^N,\\ \text{\(H_\Phi\) denotes the Hankel operator given by} H_\Phi &= r_+\mathcal F^{-1}\Phi\mathcal F J:[L_+^2(\mathbb R)]^N\to [L^2(\mathbb R_+)]^N,\end{aligned} \] and the Fourier symbol \(\Phi\) belongs to the so-called APW subclass of \([L^\infty(\mathbb R)]^{N\times N}\). Here, APW is precisely the (proper) subclass of all almost periodic functions \(\varphi\) which can be written in an absolutely convergent series of the form \(\varphi(x)=\sum_j\varphi_je^{i\lambda_jx}\), \(\lambda_j\in\mathbb R\), \(\sum_j| \varphi_j| <\infty\). In this paper, a characterization of the invertibility of a class of matrix Wiener--Hopf plus Hankel operators is obtained, based on a factorization of the Fourier symbols which belong to the Wiener subclass of the almost periodic matrix functions. Additionally, a representation of the inverse, lateral inverses, and generalized inverses is presented for each corresponding possible case.
