Symbol of singular integral operators in the case of an open unbounded contour (Q2748968)

Let \(A\) be a singular integral operator NEWLINE\[NEWLINEA\varphi= a(t)\varphi (t) +\frac{b(t)}{\pi i}\int_\Gamma \frac{\varphi(\tau)}{\tau-t} d\tau+c(t)\varphi [\alpha(t)] +\frac{d(t)}{\pi i}\int_\Gamma \frac{\varphi(t)}{\tau-\alpha(t)} d\tau \tag{1}NEWLINE\]NEWLINE with changing the orientation Carleman \((\alpha[\alpha(t)]\equiv t)\) shift on \(\Gamma\) where \(\Gamma\) is an open unbounded contour and \(a, b, c, d\) are continuous matrix functions. The authors construct the symbol and give the Fredholm criterion for the operators from the least algebra containing all the operators of the form \(A\) in the space \(L_p^m (\Gamma, \rho)\) with power weight \(\rho (t)= |t-t_0|^\beta\), \(-1<\beta<p-1\), \(1<p<\infty\), where \(t_0\) is the unique finite fixed point of the shift.
