Inversion problem for a singular integral and difference equations for functions analytic outside a square (Q1901941)

The author produces inversion formulae for the singular integral equation \[ {1 \over \pi i} \int_{\partial R} \varphi (\tau) M (\tau - t) d \tau = \psi (t) \] in the cases when \(\partial R\) is the boundary of a unit square \(R\) and either \[ M(t) = (t - 1)^{-1} + (t + 1)^{-1} + (t - i)^{-1} + (t + i)^{-1} \] or \(M(t) = (t-1)^{-1} + (t + 1)^{-1} - (t - i)^{-1} - (t + i)^{-1}.\) The difference equation \[ \Omega (z - 1) + \lambda \Omega (z + 1) + \beta \Omega (z - i) + \gamma \Omega (z + i) = g(z),\;z \in R, \] where \(g\) is analytic in \(R\) and bounded in \(\overline R\), is also examined and results on the existence of solutions which are analytic outside \(R\) are presented for the cases \(\lambda = \beta = \gamma = 1\) and \(\lambda = 1\), \(\beta = \gamma = - 1\).
