Toeplitz matrices with banded inverses

Given a Toeplitz matrix T with banded inverse i.e., (T^?1)_ij=0 for j?i>p], we show that the elements of T can be expressed in terms of the roots of a polynomial. Then, using properties we have previously established, we generalize this result appropriately to allow singular T and show that the converse also holds. Finally, we give a sufficient condition for the decay of the elements of T as one moves away from the diagonal.
