Factorization of Almost Periodic Matrix Functions and its
Applications
We will give an overview of the current state of the spectral
theory of Toeplitz operators with matrix semi almost periodic
symbol. The role of the factorization problem for purely almost
periodic (in Bohr sense) matrix functions will be explained.
Existence of factorization will be discussed along with algorithms
of its actual construction. Applications include (but are not
limited to) convolution type equations on finite intervals.
