Diagonalization of shift-preserving operators (Q2048609)

It is studied the structure of shift-preserving operators acting on a finitely generated shift-invariant space in this work. A new notion of diagonalization for these operators, which is called s-diagonalization is defined. Necessary and sufficient conditions on a bounded shift-preserving operator in order to be s-diagonalizable are given. These conditions are in terms of its range operator. A generalized Spectral Theorem for normal bounded shift-preserving operators is also obtained.
