Calculation of the defect numbers of the generalized Hilbert and Carleman boundary value problems with linear fractional Carleman shift (Q2464692)

From the abstract: There are given formulas for defect numbers of the generalized Hilbert and Carleman boundary value problems with a direct or inverse linear fractional Carleman shift of order~2 (\(\alpha(\alpha(t))\equiv t\)) on the unit circle \(\mathbb{T}\). The method to calculate the defect numbers is based on reduction of the problems to the corresponding singular integral equations with shift and the factorization of the arising Hermitian matrix.
