Gabor systems and almost periodic functions

Inspired by results of Kim and Ron, given a Gabor frame in $L^2(\mathbb{R})$, we determine a non-countable generalized frame for the non-separable space ${\mathit{AP}}_2(\mathbb{R})$ of the Besicovic almost periodic functions. Gabor type frames for suitable separable subspaces of ${\mathit{AP}}_2(\mathbb{R})$ are constructed. We show furthermore that Bessel-type estimates hold for the AP norm with respect to a countable Gabor system using suitable almost periodic norms of sequences.     

Translational absolute continuity and Fourier frames on a sum of singular measures

A finite Borel measure μ in ${\mathbb{R}}^d$ is called a frame-spectral measure if it admits an exponential frame (or Fourier frame) for $L^2(\mu )$. It has been conjectured that a frame-spectral measure must be translationally absolutely continuous, which is a criterion describing the local uniformity of a measure on its support. In this paper, we show that if any measures ν and λ without atoms whose supports form a packing pair, then $\nu ?\lambda +{\delta }_t?\nu$ is translationally singular and it does not admit any Fourier frame. In particular, we show that the sum of one-fourth and one-sixteenth Cantor measure ${\mu }_4+{\mu }_{16}$ does not admit any Fourier frame. We also interpolate the mixed-type frame-spectral measures studied by Lev and the measure we studied. In doing so, we demonstrate a discontinuity behavior: For any anticlockwise rotation mapping $R_{\theta }$ with $\theta \ne \pm \pi /2$, the two-dimensional measure ${\rho }_{\theta }(?):=({\mu }_4\times {\delta }_0)(?)+({\delta }_0\times {\mu }_{16})(R_{\theta }^{?1}?)$, supported on the union of x-axis and $y=(\cot ?\theta )x$, always admit a Fourier frame. Furthermore, we can find ${\{e^{2\pi i〈\lambda ,x〉}\}}_{\lambda \in {\mathrm{\Lambda }}_{\theta }}$ such that it forms a Fourier frame for ${\rho }_{\theta }$ with frame bounds independent of θ. Nonetheless, ${\rho }_{\pm \pi /2}$ does not admit any Fourier frame.
