The paper is devoted to the centrally extended Yangian double associated with \(\mathfrak{sl}_2\), \(\widehat{DY(\mathfrak{sl}_2)}\), and to the degeneration of the scaling limit of the elliptic affine algebra, \(\mathcal A_\hbar(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}_2})\). The approach to both algebras is unified. One starts from an extension of the quantum double by the infinitesimal shift operator \(d\) and the element \(c\) dual to it. Apart from \(c\) and \(d\), the algebra is generated by entries of two \(2\times 2\) matrices, \(L^\pm(u)\), with \(u\) being the spectral parameter. The defining relations are \[ [L^\pm(u),c]=0, \quad e^{ad}L^\pm(u)=L^\pm(u+a)e^{ad},\quad L^\pm_{11}(u-i\hbar)L^\pm_{22}(u)-L_{12}^\pm(u-i\hbar)L_{21}^\pm(u)=1 \] and \[ \begin{aligned} R^+(u_1-u_2+ic\hbar/2)L^+_1(u_1)L^-_2(u_2)&= L^-_2(u_2)L^+_1(u_1)R^\pm(u_1-u_2-ic\hbar/2),\\ R^\pm(u_1-u_2)L^\pm_1(u_1)L^\pm_2(u_2)&= L^\pm_2(u_2)L^\pm_1(u_1)R^\pm(u_1-u_2),\end{aligned} \] where \(R^\pm(u)=\rho^\pm\overline{R}(u)\) and \[ \overline{R}(u)=\frac{u-i\hbar P}{u-i\hbar},\qquad \rho^\pm(u)=\left[\frac{\Gamma^2(\frac 12\mp\frac u{2i\hbar})}{\Gamma(1\mp\frac u{2i\hbar})\Gamma(\mp\frac u{2i\hbar})}\right]^{\mp 1}, \] \(P\) is the flip operator in \(\mathbb C^2\otimes\mathbb C^2\). After this one introduces new generators, \(e^\pm(u)\), \(f^\pm(u)\) and \(h^\pm(u)\), by means of Gauss decomposition of the matrices \(L^\pm(u)\). From the formal algebra one constructs the desired algebras by specifying the analytic properties of the \(L\)-operators and by solving the corresponding Riemann problem. The algebra \(\widehat{DY(\mathfrak{sl}_2)}\) is determined by the analytic properties: \(L^+(u)\) is analytic in a neighborhood of \(u=\infty\), \(L^-(u)\) is analytic in a neighborhood of \(u=0\), while the algebra \(\mathcal A_\hbar(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}_2})\) is determined by the analytic properties: \(L^+(u)\) is analytic in \(\mathbb C\) for \(\text{Im} u<-A\), \(L^-(u)\) is analytic for \(\text{Im} u>A\). The authors discuss in detail some properties of the two algebras which are quite different (e.g., \(\mathcal A_\hbar(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}_2})\) is graded, while \(\widehat{DY(\mathfrak{sl}_2)}\) is a filtered algebra), and further finite-dimensional representations and basic infinite-dimensional representations. The approach admits some generalization, e.g., an application of the Riemann problem to a strip produces the scaled elliptic algebra \(\mathcal A_{\hbar,\eta}(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}_2})\).
