An elementary description of partial indices of rational matrix functions. (English) Zbl 0719.47014

An (unpublished) test of S. Pattanayak for the invertibility of a Toeplitz operator with a rational matrix symbol on the unit circle is extended to arbitrary contours. The generalization leads in a simple manner to an elementary description of the factorization indices of a regular rational matrix function relative to a contour. The formulae for the indices given by the authors differ from the ones in I. Gohberg, L. Lerer and L. Rodman, Bull. Am. Math. Soc. 84, 275-277 (1978; Zbl 0381.30020), but the order of their computational complexity is about the same.
