Summary: In his doctoral dissertation in 1797, Gauss proved the fundamental theorem of algebra, which states that any one-dimensional (1-D) polynomial of degree n with complex coefficients can be factored into a product of n polynomials of degree 1. Since then, it has been an open problem to factorize a two-dimensional (2-D) polynomial into a product of basic polynomials. Particularly for the last three decades, this problem has become more important in a wide range of signal and image processing such as 2-D filter design and 2-D wavelet analysis. In this paper, a fundamental theorem of algebra for 2-D polynomials is presented. In applications such as 2-D signal and image processing, it is often necessary to find a 2-D spectral factor from a given 2-D autocorrelation function. In this paper, a 2-D spectral factorization method is presented through cepstral analysis. In addition, some algorithms are proposed to factorize a 2-D spectral factor finely. These are applied to deriving stability criteria of 2-D filters and nonseparable 2-D wavelets and to solving partial difference equations and partial differential equations.
