Generalized frames and their redundancy

Let be a generalized frame in a separable Hilbert space indexed by a measure space , and assume its analysing operator is surjective. It is shown that is essentially discrete; that is, the corresponding index measure space can be decomposed into atoms such that is isometrically isomorphic to the weighted space of all sequences of complex numbers with , where This provides a new proof for the redundancy of the windowed Fourier transform as well as any wavelet family in .

     

Polynomial Wavelet-Type Expansions on the Sphere

We present a polynomial wavelet-type system on S ^d such that any continuous function can be expanded with respect to these wavelets. The order of the growth of the degrees of the polynomials is optimal. The coefficients in the expansion are the inner products of the function and the corresponding element of a dual wavelet system. The dual wavelets system is also a polynomial system with the same growth of degrees of polynomials. The system is redundant. A construction of a polynomial basis is also presented. In contrast to our wavelet-type system, this basis is not suitable for implementation, because, first, there are no explicit formulas for the coefficient functionals and, second, the growth of the degrees of polynomials is too rapid.
