Abstract
Let (equation presented) where cj ∈ ℂℳ × ℳ, α, v > 0 and α + v = λ. For rational α/v such matrices G are periodic, and their Wiener-Hopf factorization with respect to the real line ℝ always exists and can be constructed explicitly. For irrational α/v, a certain modification (called an almost periodic factorization) can be considered instead. The case of invertible c0 and commuting c1c0-1, c-1c0-1 was disposed of earlier - it was discovered that an almost periodic factorization of such matrices G does not always exist, and a necessary and sufficient condition for its existence was found. This paper is devoted mostly to the situation when c0 is not invertible but the Cj commute pairwise (j = 0, ±1). The complete description is obtained when ℳ < 3; for an arbitrary ℳ, certain conditions are imposed on the Jordan structure of cj. Difficulties arising for m = 4 are explained, and a classification of both solved and unsolved cases is given. The main result of the paper (existence criterion) is theoretical; however, a significant part of its proof is a constructive factorization of G in numerous particular cases. These factorizations were obtained using Maple; the code is available from the authors upon request.
