The constants in the asymptotic formulas by Rambour and Seghier for inverses of Toeplitz matrices. (English) Zbl 1070.47015
Let $$T$$ be the unit circle and $$a(t)=|1-\tau|^{2p}f(\tau), \tau\in T$$, where $$p\in\mathbb{N}$$ and $$f$$ is a positive continuous function such that $$\sum_{n\in \mathbb{Z}} |n||f_n|<\infty$$, and $$f_n$$ are the Fourier coefficients. P. Rambour and A. Seghier [C. R. Acad. Sci., Paris 335, No. 8, 705–710 (2002; Zbl 1012.65025); erratum: ibid. 336, 399–400 (2003); Integral Equations Oper. Theory 50, No. 1, 83–114 (2004; Zbl 1069.47027)] discussed the asymptotic behavior of the $$j,k$$ entry $$[T_n^{-1} (a)]_{j,k}$$ as $$n\to\infty$$ of the Toeplitz $$(n+1)\times (n+1)$$ matrix $$T_n^{-1} (a)=(T_n (a))^{-1},\;T_n (a)=(a_{j-k})_{j,k=0}^n$$. They established that $[T_n^{-1} (a)]_{[nx],[ny]}= \frac{1}{f(1)}G_p(x,y)n^{2p-1}+o(n^{2p-1}),$ as $$n\to\infty$$ uniformly with respect to $$x$$ and $$y$$ in $$[0,1]$$. They also remarked that $$G_1(x,y)=x(1-y), G_2(x,y)=\frac 16 x^2(1-y)^2 (3y-x-2xy).$$
In the present paper, the author gives an elegant method for the calculation of $$G_p(x,y)$$ for any $$p\in \mathbb{N}$$.
Theorem. For $$0\leq x\leq 1$$ and $$y\geq \max (x,1-x)$$, $G_p(x,y)=\frac{x^py^p}{[(p-1)!]^2}\int_y^1\frac{(t-x)^{p-1}(t-y)^{p-1}}{t^{2p}}dt.$
The asymptotic behavior of the trace and sum of all entries are also considered.
