Abstract

Suppose α is an orientation preserving diffeomorphism (shift) of \({{\mathbb{R}}_+=(0,\infty)}\) onto itself with the only fixed points 0 and ∞. We establish sufficient conditions for the Fredholmness of the singular integral operator with shift

$$(aI-bW_\alpha)P_++(cI-dW_\alpha)P_-$$

acting on \({L^p({\mathbb{R}}_+)}\) with 1 < p < ∞, where P ± = (I ± S)/2, S is the Cauchy singular integral operator, and \({{{W_{\alpha}f=f\circ\alpha}}}\) is the shift operator, under the assumptions that the coefficients a, b, c, d and the derivative α′ of the shift are bounded and continuous on \({{\mathbb{R}}_+}\) and may admit discontinuities of slowly oscillating type at 0 and ∞.
