Ran, Wiener-Hopf indices of unitary functions on the unit circle in terms of realizations and related results on Toeplitz operators. \\emph{Indag. Math.} 28 (2017) 694--710] our aim is to obtain explicitly the Wiener-Hopf indices of a rational $m\\times m$ matrix function $R(z)$ that has no poles and no zeros on the unit circle $\\mathbb{T}$ but, in contrast with that paper, the function $R(z)$ is not required to be unitary on the unit circle. On the other hand, using a Douglas-Shapiro-Shields type of factorization, we show that $R(z)$ factors as $R(z)=\\Xi(z)\\Psi(z)$, where $\\Xi(z)$ and $\\Psi(z)$ are rational $m\\times m$ matrix functions, $\\Xi(z)$ is unitary on the unit circle and $\\Psi(z)$ is an invertible outer function. Furthermore, the fact that $\\Xi(z)$ is unitary on the unit circle allows us to factor as $\\Xi(z) =V(z)W^*(z)$ where $V(z)$ and $W(z)$ are rational bi-inner $m\\times m$ matrix functions. The latter allows us to solve the Wiener-Hopf indices problem. To derive explicit formulas for the functions $V(z)$ and $W(z)$ requires additional realization properties of the function $\\Xi(z)$ which are given in the last two sections.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-03-15T12:23:06.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "47B35", "47A35" ], "keywords": [ "unit circle", "wiener-hopf factorization indices", "rational matrix functions", "additional realization properties", "wiener-hopf indices problem" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
