A new approach to factorization of a class of almost-periodic triangular symbols and related Riemann--Hilbert problems (Q2493043)

Convolution operators on a finite interval are studied in the case when the corresponding Fourier symbols are almost periodic polynomials with spectrum in the group \(\alpha \mathbb{Z} +\beta \mathbb{Z} +\mathbb{Z}\), where \(\alpha,\beta\in (0,1)\), \(\alpha +\beta>1\), and \(\alpha\over\beta\) is irrational. The factorization problem for almost-periodic triangular symbols is solved by using a connection with the Riemann--Hilbert problem \(G\Phi_+ =\Phi_-\) in \(L_{\infty} (\mathbb{R})\). New results are obtained concerning the Fourier spectrum of the solution of \(G\Phi_+ =\Phi_-\).
