and Applied Analysis 3 Theorem3. Letφ, ψ∈H∞(T) orφ,ψ ∈ H(T), the following statements are equivalent: (1.1) U φ and U ψ commute; (1.2) U φ and U ψ essentially commute; (1.3) φ(zk)ψ(z) = φ(z)ψ(z); (1.4) there exist scalars α andβ, not both zero, such that αφ+ βψ = 0. Nowwe start to study the commutativity of two kth-order slant Toeplitz operators with harmonic symbols. Proposition4. Letφ(z)=∑n p...
