Localization of matrix factorizations (Q896551)

Let \(\mathcal{A}\) be a Banach algebra of matrices in \(\mathcal{B}(\ell^2)\) and \(A \in \mathcal{A}\). Denote by \(\mathcal{L}\) the subalgebra of \(\mathcal{B}(\ell^2)\) consisting of lower triangular matrices, and \(\mathcal{L}^*\) the subalgebra consisting of upper triangular matrices. We say that \(A\) admits {\parindent=6mm \begin{itemize} \item[1.] an LU factorization in \(\mathcal{A}\) if \(A = LU\), where \(L,L^{-1} \in \mathcal{L} \cap \mathcal{A}\) and \(U,U^{-1} \in \mathcal{L}^* \cap \mathcal{A}\); \item [2.] a QR factorization in \(\mathcal{A}\) if \(A = QR\), where \(R,R^{-1} \in \mathcal{L}^* \cap \mathcal{A}\) and \(Q \in \mathcal{A}\) is unitary; \item [3.] a Cholesky factorization in \(\mathcal{A}\) if \(A\) is Hermitian positive definite, and \(A = C^*C\), where \(C,C^{-1} \in \mathcal{L} \cap \mathcal{A}\) and the diagonal entries of \(C\) are positive; \item [4.] a polar factorization in \(\mathcal{A}\) if \(A = UP\), where \(U \in \mathcal{A}\) is unitary and \(P \in \mathcal{A}\) is Hermitian positive semidefinite. \end{itemize}} The following subalgebras \(\mathcal{A}\) with off-diagonal decay are considered: {\parindent=6mm \begin{itemize} \item[1.] The Jaffard class \(\mathcal{A}_s\), where \(s > 1\), consisting of all matrices \(A = [a_{jk}]\) satisfying \[ |a_{jk}| \leq C (1+|j-k|)^{-s} \] for some \(C > 0\). \item [2.] The subalgebra \(\mathcal{A}_v\), consisting of all matrices \(A = [a_{jk}]\) satisfying \[ |a_{jk}| \leq Cv^{-1}(j-k), \] where \(C > 0\), and \(v\) is an admissible weight with the properties \(v^{-1} \in \ell^1(\mathbb{Z})\) and \(v^{-1} * v^{-1} \leq Cv^{-1}\). \item [3.] The Schur-type algebra \(\mathcal{A}_v^1\), consisting of all matrices \(A = [a_{jk}]\) satisfying \[ \sup_{j \in \mathbb{Z}} \sum_{k \in \mathbb{Z}} |a_{jk}|v(j-k) < \infty \text{ and } \sup_{k \in \mathbb{Z}} \sum_{j \in \mathbb{Z}} |a_{jk}|v(j-k) < \infty, \] where \(v\) is an admissible weight. \item [4.] The Gohberg-Baskakov-Sjöstrand class \(\mathcal{C}_v\), consisting of all matrices \(A = [a_{jk}]\) satisfying \[ \sum_{j \in \mathbb{Z}} \sup_{k \in \mathbb{Z}} |a_{k, k-j}|v(j) < \infty, \] where \(v\) is an admissible weight. \end{itemize}} The following are the main results: {\parindent=6mm \begin{itemize} \item[1.] Let \(\mathcal{A}\) be either \(\mathcal{A}_v\), \(\mathcal{A}_v^1\), or \(\mathcal{C}_v\). Let \(A \in \mathcal{A}\). If \(A\) has an LU factorization in \(\mathcal{B}(\ell^2)\), then \(A\) admits an LU factorization in \(\mathcal{A}\). \item [2.] Let \(\mathcal{A}\) be either \(\mathcal{A}_s\), \(\mathcal{A}_v\), \(\mathcal{A}_v^1\), or \(\mathcal{C}_v\). Then any Hermitian positive definite \(A \in \mathcal{A}\) admits a Cholesky factorization in \(\mathcal{A}\). \item [3.] Let \(\mathcal{A}\) be either \(\mathcal{A}_s\), \(\mathcal{A}_v\), \(\mathcal{A}_v^1\), or \(\mathcal{C}_v\). Let \(A \in \mathcal{A}\) be invertible. If \(A\) has a QR factorization in \(\mathcal{B}(\ell^2)\), then \(A\) admits a QR factorization in \(\mathcal{A}\). \item [4.] Let \(\mathcal{A}\) be either \(\mathcal{A}_s\), \(\mathcal{A}_v\), \(\mathcal{A}_v^1\), or \(\mathcal{C}_v\). Let \(A \in \mathcal{A}\) be invertible. If \(A\) has a polar factorization in \(\mathcal{B}(\ell^2)\), then \(A\) admits a polar factorization in \(\mathcal{A}\). \end{itemize}}
