Calculation record

Coherent contact across bands, finite source widths and effective reductions.

Tests specify the band identification and distinguish a fixed bare form from
its frequency-dependent Schur reduction. No physical kernel is inferred.

Research context

  • Consistent band contacts

    A fixed bare kernel must have compatible cumulative compressions, while coherent projective contact changes under the standard band inclusion and effective kernels obey a different Schur consistency law.

  • Finite ray resolution

    A normalized coherent symbol of specified finite width has an exact full Toeplitz spectrum and a controlled point-contact error, with distinct fixed-width and fixed-band limits.
