Abstract

Given two arbitrary sequences (λj)j1(\lambda_j)_{j\ge 1} and (μj)j1(\mu_j)_{j\ge 1} of real numbers satisfying λ1>μ1>λ2>μ2>...>λj>μj0 ,|\lambda_1|>|\mu_1|>|\lambda_2|>|\mu_2|>...>| \lambda_j| >| \mu_j| \to 0\ , we prove that there exists a unique sequence c=(cn)nZ+c=(c_n)_{n\in\Z_+}, real valued, such that the Hankel operators Γc\Gamma_c and Γc~\Gamma_{\tilde c} of symbols c=(cn)n0c=(c_{n})_{n\ge 0} and c~=(cn+1)n0\tilde c=(c_{n+1})_{n\ge 0} respectively, are selfadjoint compact operators on 2(Z+)\ell^2(\Z_+) and have the sequences (λj)j1(\lambda_j)_{j\ge 1} and (μj)j1(\mu_j)_{j\ge 1} respectively as non zero eigenvalues. Moreover, we give an explicit formula for cc and we describe the kernel of Γc\Gamma_c and of Γc~\Gamma_{\tilde c} in terms of the sequences (λj)j1(\lambda_j)_{j\ge 1} and (μj)j1(\mu_j)_{j\ge 1}. More generally, given two arbitrary sequences (ρj)j1(\rho_j)_{j\ge 1} and (σj)j1(\sigma_j)_{j\ge 1} of positive numbers satisfying ρ1>σ1>ρ2>σ2>...>ρj>σj0 ,\rho_1>\sigma_1>\rho_2>\sigma_2>...> \rho_j> \sigma_j \to 0\ , we describe the set of sequences c=(cn)nZ+c=(c_n)_{n\in\Z_+} of complex numbers such that the Hankel operators Γc\Gamma_c and Γc~\Gamma_{\tilde c} are compact on 2(Z+)\ell ^2(\Z_+) and have sequences (ρj)j1(\rho_j)_{j\ge 1} and (σj)j1(\sigma_j)_{j\ge 1} respectively as non zero singular values.
