Toeplitz and Hankel matrices and their applications

This paper is a survey of some works on paracommutators and Hankel operators in China, which are the subjects I have been studying since 1985. The classical Hankel operator is defined on the Hilbert space l 2 by the Hankel matrix Γ = {b n+k } n,k ≥0, and the Toeplitz operator is defined also on l 2 by the toeplitz matrix T = {b n−k } n≥k≥0. By the theory of the Fourier series both of them become the operators on the Hardy space \( {{H}^{2}}(T) = \{ f \in {{L}^{2}}(T):\hat{f}(n) = 0,n < 0\} . \). Let \( \overline H ^2 (T) \) denote the conjugate Hardy space and P,P denote the ortnogonal projections from L 2(T) into H 2(T),H 2 (T) respectively. Then the Toeplitz operator is defined as follows $$ {T_b}(f) = P(\bar bf),for f \in {H^2}(T) $$ (1.1) and the Hankel operator is defined as follows $$ {H_b}(f) = \bar P(\bar bf),for f \in {H^2}(T).$$ (1.2)

Permutability of Toeplitz and Hankel matrices

We derive an asymptotic formula for the argument of a Blaschke product in the upper half-plane with purely imaginary zeros. We then use this formula to find conditions for the quotient of two such Blaschke products to be continuous on the real line. These results are applied to certain Hankel and Toeplitz operators arising in the Cauchy problem for the Korteweg-de Vries equation. Our main theorems include certain compactness conditions for Hankel operators and invertibility conditions for Toeplitz operators with oscillating symbols containing such quotients. As a by-product we obtain a well-posedness result for the Korteweg-de Vries equation.

The paper deals with the invertibility of Toeplitz plus Hankel operators T(a)+H(b) acting on classical Hardy spaces on the unit circle T. It is supposed that the generating functions a and b satisfy the condition a(t)a(1/t) = b(t)b(1/t), t ∈ T. Special attention is paid to the case of piecewise continuous generating functions. In some cases the dimensions of null spaces of the operator T(a) + H(b) and its adjoint are described. Fredholm properties of Toeplitz plus Hankel operatorsT(a)+H(b) with piecewise continuous generating functions a and b have been studied for many years. These operators are considered in various Banach and Hilbert spaces, and the results ob- tained show that the structure of the algebras generated by such operators is much more complicated than the structure of the algebras generated by one-dimensional singular integral operators with piecewise continuous coefficients defined on closed smooth curves. Moreover, calculating the index of Toeplitz plus Hankel operators, one encounters even more difficult problems, and the difficulti es grow if one attempts to study invertibility or one-sided invertibility of such operators. It is worth noting that, in general, Fredholm operators T(a) +H(b) are not one-sided invertible. Nev- ertheless, a few works where one-sided invertibility was discussed, have appeared in literature recently. They are mainly concerned with two special cases of Toeplitz plus Hankel operators—viz. with the operators having the form M(a) := T(a) +H(a) or the form f

Originally, Hankel and Toeplitz operators are defined as operators acting on l2 and having matrices with entries depending only on the sum or, respectively, difference of indices: \( \Gamma = {\left\{ {{\gamma_{n + k}}} \right\}_{n,k \geqslant 0}} \), \( T = \left\{ {{t_{n - k}}} \right\}{}_{n,k \geqslant 0} \). Many close relations of such operators (matrices) to various problems of algebra, analysis, differential equations were discovered as early as in the last century. But the spectral theories of Hankel and Toeplitz operators start their development only in the late 50th. Now they are joined within the spectral theory of Hankel and Toeplitz operators.

We completely classify all Toeplitz and Hankel operators which commute; namely, we prove that that a non-trivial Hankel operator and a non-trivial Toeplitz operator commute if and only if the Hankel operator has symbolzψ, where ψ is the symbol of the Toeplitz operator, and ψ is an affine function of the characteristic function of certain “anti-symmetric” sets of the unit circle.

We consider the Hecke algebra on homogeneous trees. We prove that it is a maximal abelian subalgebra of some operator algebras if the degree of the tree is greater than 2. There we show the influence of geometry of the tree on that fact. If the degree is 2 (for example, in the case of integers) then we show that operators which commute with the Hecke algebra can be uniquely represented as a sum of Hankel and Toeplitz matrices.

On algebras of Toeplitz plus Hankel matrices

Triangular factorization of general N × N Hermitian matrices requires O(N 3) operations. We present a procedure that factors certain structured matrices in O(N 2) operations. The family of structured matrices considered in this paper includes Toeplitz and Hankel matrices, as well as a variety of ‘Toeplitz-like’ and ‘Hankel-like’ matrices (e.g. inverses, sums and products of Toeplitz and Hankel matrices).

Conditions for commuting a Toeplitz matrix and a Hankel matrix were obtained relatively recently (in 2015). The solution to the problem of describing all anti-commuting pairs (T, H), where T is a Toeplitz matrix and H is a Hankel matrix, is sketched below.

Kernel structure of block Hankel and Toeplitz matrices and partial realization

The square root of the spectral radius of the Hankel plus Toeplitz operator has been shown to be the achievable performance of the mixed-sensitivity H/sup infinity / design. The computation of the spectral radius is the bottleneck in the synthesis of the H/sup infinity / controller. In this paper, the spectral properties of the Hankel plus Toeplitz operator are investigated. A finite procedure for computing the spectral radius of the Hankel plus Toeplitz operator is proposed.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>

In this paper one considers some general theorems of the theory of Hankel and Toeplitz operators in spaces of analytic functions. Under natural restrictions on the spaces X, it is shown that the symbols of the Toeplitz operators, acting in X, are bounded. One describes completely the symbols of the Hankel and Toeplitz operators, acting from Hp into ¯Hq (into Hq) for 0 < p, q < ∞.
