Abstract

The Fredholm properties (index, kernel, image, etc.) of Wiener-Hopf integral operators are described in terms of realization of the symbol for a class of matrix symbols that are analytic on the real line but not at infinity. The realizations are given in terms of exponentially dichotomous operators. The results obtained give a complete analogue of the earlier results for rational symbols.
