he topic of this paper is band operators and the norm limits of such — so-called band-dominated operators, both classes acting on L∞(ℝn). Invertibility at infinity is closely related to Fredholmness. In fact, in the discrete case ℓp(ℤn), 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞, both properties coincide. For many applications, e.g., the question of applicability of certain approximation methods, in the situation at hand, Lp(ℝn), 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞, it has however proved to be useful to study invertibility at infinity rather than Fredholmness.
We will present a criterion for a band-dominated operator’s invertibility at infinity in terms of the invertibility of its limit operators. It is the same criterion that was found for ℓp(ℤn), 1 < p < ∞ in [21] and for the C*- algebra L 2 (ℝn in [22]. Our investigations concentrate on one of the most unvolved cases, being L ∞(ℝn). With the techniques presented here it is clear now how the remaining cases ℓ1, ℓ∞ and L p, (p≠2) have to be treated.
