This note describes three recent factorizations of banded invertible infinite matrices
  1. If $A$ has a banded inverse;: $A = BC$ with block--diagonal factors $B$ and $C$.
  2. Permutations factor into a shift times $N < 2w$ tridiagonal permutations.
  3. $A = LPU$ with lower triangular $L$, permutation $P$, upper triangular $U$.
    We include examples and references and outlines of proofs.
Keywords: factorization., Banded matrix, elimination, banded inverse, doubly infinite matrix.
