Constructive almost periodic factorization of some triangular matrix functions (Q968830)

The authors obtain constructively a factorability criterion for \(2\times 2\) triangular almost periodic matrix functions of the form \[ \left[\begin{matrix} e_\lambda & 0\\ f & e_{-\lambda}\end{matrix}\right], \] where \(f= c_1 e_{-\alpha}- c_0+ c_1 e_\beta\), \(e_\mu(x):= e^{i\mu x}\), \(c_j\) are nonzero constants and \(0<\alpha,\beta\), \(\alpha+\beta< \lambda\leq \alpha+ \beta+\max\{\alpha, \beta\}\) with \(\alpha/\beta\) being irrational. We point out that the result obtained is another step towards the solution of the factorization problem, which is open even for triangular matrix functions as above with an arbitrary trinomial \(f\).
