For the spectral questions take the unique weakly stationary process solving the equation, as is customary for a stable autoregressive moving-average model. The equation alone also admits nonstationary solutions differing by , for which a spectral density of a stationary process need not exist. Let be the backshift operator. Since the autoregressive root is , the stationary solution is causal and
Using the convention , the spectral density of a stationary process is
The stationary mean is zero, since .
