We prove a Fredholm criterion for operators in the Banach algebra of singular integral operators with matrix piecewise continuous coefficients acting on a variable Lebesgue space with a radial oscillating weight over a logarithmic Carleson curve. The local spectra of these operators are massive and have a shape of spiralic horns depending on the value of the variable exponent, the spirality indices of the curve, and the Matuszewska-Orlicz indices of the weight at each point. These results extend (partially) the results of A. Böttcher, Yu. Karlovich, and V. Rabinovich for standard Lebesgue spaces to the case of variable Lebesgue spaces.

Let \(\alpha,\beta\in(0,1)\) and
\[
K^{\alpha,\beta}:=\left\{a\in L^\infty(\mathbb{T}):\
\sum_{k=1}^\infty |\widehat{a}(-k)|^2 k^{2\alpha}<\infty,\
\sum_{k=1}^\infty |\widehat{a}(k)|^2 k^{2\beta}<\infty
\right\}.
\]
Mark Krein proved in 1966 that \(K^{1/2,1/2}\) forms a Banach algebra. He also observed that this algebra is important in the asymptotic theory of finite Toeplitz matrices. Ten years later, Harold Widom extended
earlier results of Gabor Szegö for scalar symbols and established the asymptotic trace formula
\[
\operatorname{trace}f(T_n(a))=(n+1)G_f(a)+E_f(a)+o(1)
\quad\text{as}\ n\to\infty
\]
for finite Toeplitz matrices \(T_n(a)\) with matrix symbols \(a\in K^{1/2,1/2}_{N\times N}\). We show that if \(\alpha+\beta\ge 1\) and \(a\in K^{\alpha,\beta}_{N\times N}\), then the Szegö-Widom asymptotic trace formula holds with \(o(1)\) replaced by \(o(n^{1-\alpha-\beta})\).

We prove higher-order asymptotic formulas for determinants and traces of finite block Toeplitz matrices generated by matrix functions belonging to generalized Hölder spaces with characteristic functions from the Bari-Stechkin class. We follow the approach of Böttcher and Silbermann and generalize their results for symbols in standard Hölder spaces.

In this paper, the author proves that the set of all integrable functions whose sequences of negative (resp. nonnegative) Fourier coefficients belong to \(\ell^1\cap\ell^\Phi_{\varphi,w}\) (resp. to \(\ell^1\cap\ell^\Psi_{\psi,\varrho}\)), where \(\ell^\Phi_{\varphi,w}\) and \(\ell^\Psi_{\psi,\varrho}\) are two-weighted Orlicz sequence spaces, forms an algebra under pointwise multiplication whenever the weight sequences
\[
\varphi=\{\varphi_n\},\quad
\psi=\{\psi_n\},\quad
w=\{w_n\},\quad
\varrho=\{\varrho_n\}
\]
increase and satisfy the \(\Delta_2\)-condition.
