### Invertibility characterization of Wiener-Hopf plus Hankel operators via odd asymmetric factorizations

#### Abstract

The invertibility of Wiener-Hopf plus Hankel operators with essentially bounded Fourier symbols is characterized via certain factorization properties of the Fourier symbols. In addition, a Fredholm criterion for these operators is also obtained and the dimensions of the kernel and cokernel are described.
