New results on the invertibility of the finite interval convolution operator

Abstract

Conditions for the invertibility and explicit formulas for the inverse of the convolution operator on a finite interval are obtained making use of solutions of corona problems. Using these results, a family of classes of functions is defined for which the study of invertibility can be carried through. An example of one class of this family is presented and a smaller class, for which the calculations are simpler, is more thoroughly studied.
