Measure functions for frames

This paper addresses the natural question: “How should frames be compared?” We answer this question by quantifying the overcompleteness of all frames with the same index set. We introduce the concept of a frame measure function: a function which maps each frame to a continuous function. The comparison of these functions induces an equivalence and partial order that allows for a meaningful comparison of frames indexed by the same set. We define the ultrafilter measure function, an explicit frame measure function that we show is contained both algebraically and topologically inside all frame measure functions. We explore additional properties of frame measure functions, showing that they are additive on a large class of supersets—those that come from so called non-expansive frames. We apply our results to the Gabor setting, computing the frame measure function of Gabor frames and establishing a new result about supersets of Gabor frames.     

Perturbations of Banach Frames and Atomic Decompositions

Banach frames and atomic decompositions are sequences that have basis-like properties but which need not be bases. In particular, they allow elements of a Banach space to be written as linear combinations of the frame or atomic decomposition elements in a stable manner. In this paper we prove several functional — analytic properties of these decompositions, and show how these properties apply to Gabor and wavelet systems. We first prove that frames and atomic decompositions are stable under small perturbations. This is inspired by corresponding classical perturbation results for bases, including the Paley — Wiener basis stability criteria and the perturbation theorem el kato. We introduce new and weaker conditions which ensure the desired stability. We then prove quality properties of atomic decompositions and consider some consequences for Hilbert frames. Finally, we demonstrate how our results apply in the practical case of Gabor systems in weighted L² spaces. Such systems can form atomic decompositions for L²_w(IR), but cannot form Hilbert frames but L²_w(IR) unless the weight is trivial.     

Stability of wavelet frames and Riesz bases, with respect to dilations and translations

We consider the perturbation problem of wavelet frame (Riesz basis) about dilation and translation parameters and . For wavelet functions whose Fourier transforms have small supports, we give a method to determine whether the perturbation system is a frame (Riesz basis) and prove the stability about dilation parameter on Paley-Wiener space. For a great deal of wavelet functions, we give a definite answer to the stability about translation . Moreover, if the Fourier transform has small support, we can estimate the frame bounds about the perturbation of translation parameter . Our methods can be used to handle nonhomogeneous frames (Riesz basis).

     

Shannon sampling II: Connections to learning theory

We continue our study [S. Smale, D.X. Zhou, Shannon sampling and function reconstruction from point values, Bull. Amer. Math. Soc. 41 (2004) 279–305] of Shannon sampling and function reconstruction. In this paper, the error analysis is improved. Then we show how our approach can be applied to learning theory: a functional analysis framework is presented; dimension independent probability estimates are given not only for the error in the L² spaces, but also for the error in the reproducing kernel Hilbert space where the learning algorithm is performed. Covering number arguments are replaced by estimates of integral operators.     

Sampling Theorem and Discrete Fourier Transform on the Riemann Sphere

Using coherent-state techniques, we prove a sampling theorem for Majorana’s (holomorphic) functions on the Riemann sphere and we provide an exact reconstruction formula as a convolution product of N samples and a given reconstruction kernel (a sinc-type function). We also discuss the effect of over- and under-sampling. Sample points are roots of unity, a fact which allows explicit inversion formulas for resolution and overlapping kernel operators through the theory of Circulant Matrices and Rectangular Fourier Matrices. The case of band-limited functions on the Riemann sphere, with spins up to J, is also considered. The connection with the standard Euler angle picture, in terms of spherical harmonics, is established through a discrete Bargmann transform.      

Frame expansions in separable Banach spaces

Banach frames are defined by straightforward generalization of (Hilbert space) frames. We characterize Banach frames (and Xd-frames) in separable Banach spaces, and relate them to series expansions in Banach spaces. In particular, our results show that we can not expect Banach frames to share all the nice properties of frames in Hilbert spaces.

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.
