Abstract

We present multiplicative factorizations of positive elements in decomposing ordered Banach algebras. In order to apply strong factorization results to the Wiener algebra, we introduce the concept of semi-strongly decomposing algebras. Several applications are considered; including factorizations of M-matrices, regular operators and Laurent polynomials.
