In the first part of this paper we give an elementary proof of the fact that if an infinite matrix A, which is invertible as a bounded operator on ℓ 2, can be uniformly approximated by banded matrices, then so can the inverse of A. We give explicit formulas for the banded approximations of A -1 as well as bounds on their accuracy and speed of convergence in terms of their bandwidth. We then use these results to prove that the so-called Wiener algebra is inverse closed. In the second part of the paper we apply these results to covariance matrices ∑ of Gaussian processes and study mixing and beta mixing of processes in terms of properties of ∑. Finally, we note some applications of our results to statistics. © by SIAM.
