Wiener-Hopf factorisation on unit circle: some examples from discrete scattering
arXiv:1912.05797
Abstract
I discuss some problems featuring scattering due to discrete edges on certain structures. These problems stem from linear difference equations and the underlying basic issue can be mapped to Wiener-Hopf factorization on an annulus in the complex plane. In most of these problems, the relevant factorization involves a scalar function, while in some cases a nxn matrix kernel, with n>=2, appears. For the latter, I give examples of two non-trivial cases where it can be further reduced to a scalar problem but in general this is not the case. Some of the problems that I have presented in this paper can be also interpreted as discrete analogues of well-known scattering problems, notably a few of which are still open, in Wiener-Hopf factorization on an infinite strip in complex plane.
