Synopsis

The aim of this paper is the explicit canonical or standard factorisation of matrix functions with Wiener algebra elements. The present approach covers all regular 2 × 2 matrices where two entries are arbitrary and the remaining two are linear combinations of the former with rational coefficient functions. It is based on the knowledge of how to factorise scalar functions and rational matrix functions. In general, one also needs the approximation of any scalar Wiener algebra function with a rational function. However, this can be easily circumvented in many applications by intuitive manipulations with rational matrix functions.
