Simultaneous estimates for vector-valued Gabor frames of Hermite functions

We derive frame bound estimates for vector-valued Gabor systems with window functions belonging to Schwartz space. The main result provides estimates for windows composed of Hermite functions. The proof is based on a recently established sampling theorem for the simply connected Heisenberg group, which is translated to a family of frame bound estimates via a direct integral decomposition.      

Sufficient conditions for irregular Gabor frames

Finding general and verifiable conditions which imply that Gabor systems are (resp. cannot be) Gabor frames is among the core problems in Gabor analysis. In their paper on atomic decompositions for coorbit spaces [H.G. Feichtinger and K. Gröchenig, Banach spaces related to integrable group representations, and their atomic decomposition, I, J. Funct. Anal. 86 (1989), 307–340], the authors proved that every Gabor system generated with a relatively uniformly discrete and sufficiently dense time-frequency sequence will allow series expansions for a large class of Banach spaces if the window function is nice enough. In particular, such a Gabor system is a frame for the Hilbert space of square integrable functions. However, their proof is based on abstract analysis and does not give direct information on how to determine the density in the sense of directly applicable estimates. It is the goal of this paper to present a constructive version of the proof and to provide quantitative results. Specifically, we give a criterion for the general case and explicit density for some cases. We also study the existence of Gabor frames and show that there is some smooth window function such that the corresponding Gabor system is incomplete for arbitrary time-frequency lattices.     

Approximations for Gabor and wavelet frames

Let be a frame vector under the action of a collection of unitary operators . Motivated by the recent work of Frank, Paulsen and Tiballi and some application aspects of Gabor and wavelet frames, we consider the existence and uniqueness of the best approximation by normalized tight frame vectors. We prove that for any frame induced by a projective unitary representation for a countable discrete group, the best normalized tight frame (NTF) approximation exists and is unique. Therefore it applies to Gabor frames (including Gabor frames for subspaces) and frames induced by translation groups. Similar results hold for semi-orthogonal wavelet frames.

Lipschitz continuity of refinable functions on the Heisenberg group

In this paper, the Lipschitz continuity of refinable functions related to the general acceptable dilations on the Heisenberg group will be investigated in terms of the uniform joint spectral radius. We also give an investigation of the refinable functions in the generalized Lipschitz spaces related to a kind of special acceptable dilations.     

Flexible Gabor-wavelet atomic decompositions for L 2-Sobolev spaces

In this paper we present a general construction of frames, which allows one to ensure that certain families of functions (atoms) obtained by a suitable combination of translation, modulation, and dilation will form Banach frames for the family of L²-Sobolev spaces on ℝ of any order. In this construction a parameter α∈[0,1) governs the dependence of the dilation factor on the frequency parameter. The well-known Gabor and wavelet frames (also valid for the same scale of Hilbert spaces) using suitable Schwartz functions as building blocks arise as special cases (α=0) and a limiting case (α→1), respectively. In contrast to those limiting cases, it is no longer possible to use group-theoretical arguments. Nevertheless, we will show how to constructively ensure that for Schwartz analyzing atoms and any sufficiently dense but discrete and well-structured family of parameters one can guarantee the frame property. As a consequence of this novel constructive technique, one can generate quasicoherent dual frames by an iterative algorithm. As will be shown in a subsequent paper, the new frames introduced here generate Banach frames for corresponding families of α-modulation spaces.

Pseudodifferential operators on ultra-modulation spaces

The boundedness of pseudodifferential operators on modulation spaces defined by the means of almost exponential weights is studied. The results are applied to symbol class with almost exponential bounds including polynomial and ultra-polynomial symbols. The Weyl correspondence is used and it is noted that the results can be transferred to the operators with appropriate anti-Wick symbols. It is proved that a class of elliptic pseudodifferential operators can be almost diagonalized by the elements of Wilson bases, and estimates for their eigenvalues are given. Furthermore, it is shown that the same can be done by using Gabor frames.     

The abstruse meets the applicable: Some aspects of time-frequency analysis

The area of Fourier analysis connected to signal processing theory has undergone a rapid development in the last two decades. The aspect of this development that has received the most publicity is the theory of wavelets and their relatives, which involves expansions in terms of sets of functions generated from a single function by translations and dilations. However, there has also been much progress in the related area known astime-frequency analysis orGabor analysis, which involves expansions in terms of sets of functions generated from a single function by translations and modulations. In this area there are some questions of a concrete and practical nature whose study reveals connections with aspects of harmonic and functional analysis that were previously considered quite pure and perhaps rather exotic. In this expository paper, I give a survey of some of these interactions between the abstruse and the applicable. It is based on the thematic lectures which I gave at the Ninth Discussion Meeting on Harmonic Analysis at the Harish-Chandra Research Institute in Allahabad in October 2005.     

Von Neumann algebras and linear independence of translates

For and , define and if , define . It has been conjectured that if , then is linearly independent over ; one motivation for this problem comes from Gabor analysis. We shall prove that is linearly independent if and is contained in a discrete subgroup of , and as a byproduct we shall obtain some results on the group von Neumann algebra generated by the operators . Also, we shall prove these results for the obvious generalization to .

     

A restriction theorem for the quaternion Heisenberg group

We prove that the restriction operator for the sublaplacian on the quaternion Heisenberg group is bounded from L p to L p if 1 ≤ p ≤ 4 3 . This is different from the Heisenberg group, on which the restriction operator is not bounded from L p to L p unless p = 1.     

Gelfand transforms of polyradial Schwartz functions on the Heisenberg group

We prove that the Gelfand transform is a topological isomorphism between the space of polyradial Schwartz functions on the Heisenberg group and the space of Schwartz functions on the Heisenberg brush. We obtain analogous results for radial Schwartz functions on Heisenberg type groups.     

Linear independence of time-frequency translates

The refinement equation plays a key role in wavelet theory and in subdivision schemes in approximation theory. Viewed as an expression of linear dependence among the time-scale translates of , it is natural to ask if there exist similar dependencies among the time-frequency translates of . In other words, what is the effect of replacing the group representation of induced by the affine group with the corresponding representation induced by the Heisenberg group? This paper proves that there are no nonzero solutions to lattice-type generalizations of the refinement equation to the Heisenberg group. Moreover, it is proved that for each arbitrary finite collection , the set of all functions such that is independent is an open, dense subset of . It is conjectured that this set is all of .

     

Positive definite temperature functions on the Heisenberg group

We characterize positive definite temperature functions, i.e., positive definite solutions of the heat equation, on the Heisenberg group in terms of the initial values. We also obtain an integral representation for positive definite and U(n)-invariant temperature functions with polynomial growth, where U(n) is the group of all n× n unitary matrices.
