CMV matrices with asymptotically constant coefficients. Szegő--Blaschke class, scattering theory (Q1017705)

In this paper, scattering theory is extended for CMV matrices with asymptotically constant Verblunsky coefficients. It is shown that the class of two-sided CMV matrices of the Szegő--Blaschke class correspond precisely to the class for which the scattering problem can be posed and solved. CMV matrices are represented as multiplication operators in \(L^{2}\)-spaces with respect to specific bases. A~CMV matrix of this type is determined uniquely by the scattering data, and the associated Gelfand--Levitan--Marchenko transformation operators are bounded.
