Shearlet Coorbit Spaces: Compactly Supported Analyzing Shearlets, Traces and Embeddings

We show that compactly supported functions with sufficient smoothness and enough vanishing moments can serve as analyzing vectors for shearlet coorbit spaces. We use this approach to prove embedding theorems for subspaces of shearlet coorbit spaces resembling shearlets on the cone into Besov spaces. Furthermore, we show embedding relations of traces of these subspaces with respect to the real axes.     

Shearlet Smoothness Spaces

The shearlet representation has gained increasingly more prominence in recent years as a flexible and efficient mathematical framework for the analysis of anisotropic phenomena. This is achieved by combining traditional multiscale analysis with a superior ability to handle directional information. In this paper, we introduce a class of shearlet smoothness spaces which is derived from the theory of decomposition spaces recently developed by L. Borup and M. Nielsen. The introduction of these spaces is motivated by recent results in image processing showing the advantage of using smoothness spaces associated with directional multiscale representations for the design and performance analysis of improved image restoration algorithms. In particular, we examine the relationship of the shearlet smoothness spaces with respect to Besov spaces, curvelet-type decomposition spaces and shearlet coorbit spaces. With respect to the theory of shearlet coorbit space, the construction of shearlet smoothness spaces presented in this paper does not require the use of a group structure.     

Vanishing moment conditions for wavelet atoms in higher dimensions

We provide explicit criteria for wavelets to give rise to frames and atomic decompositions in L²(?^d), but also in more general Banach function spaces. We consider wavelet systems that arise by translating and dilating the mother wavelet, with the dilations taken from a suitable subgroup of GL(?^d), the so-called dilation group.The paper provides a unified approach that is applicable to a wide range of dilation groups, thus giving rise to new atomic decompositions for homogeneous Besov spaces in arbitrary dimensions, but also for other function spaces such as shearlet coorbit spaces. The atomic decomposition results are obtained by applying the coorbit theory developed by Feichtinger and Gröchenig, and they can be informally described as follows: Given a function ψ ∈ L²(?^d) satisfying fairly mild decay, smoothness and vanishing moment conditions, any sufficiently fine sampling of the translations and dilations will give rise to a wavelet frame. Furthermore, the containment of the analyzed signal in certain smoothness spaces (generalizing the homogeneous Besov spaces) can be decided by looking at the frame coefficients, and convergence of the frame expansion holds in the norms of these spaces. We motivate these results by discussing nonlinear approximation.     

Shearlet coorbit spaces and associated Banach frames

In this paper, we study the relationships of the newly developed continuous shearlet transform with the coorbit space theory. It turns out that all the conditions that are needed to apply the coorbit space theory can indeed be satisfied for the shearlet group. Consequently, we establish new families of smoothness spaces, the shearlet coorbit spaces. Moreover, our approach yields Banach frames for these spaces in a quite natural way. We also study the approximation power of best n-term approximation schemes and present some first numerical experiments.     

Different Faces of the Shearlet Group

Recently, shearlet groups have received much attention in connection with shearlet transforms applied for orientation sensitive image analysis and restoration. The square integrable representations of the shearlet groups provide not only the basis for the shearlet transforms but also for a very natural definition of scales of smoothness spaces, called shearlet coorbit spaces. The aim of this paper is twofold: first we discover isomorphisms between shearlet groups and other well-known groups, namely extended Heisenberg groups and subgroups of the symplectic group. Interestingly, the connected shearlet group with positive dilations has an isomorphic copy in the symplectic group, while this is not true for the full shearlet group with all nonzero dilations. Indeed we prove the general result that there exist, up to adjoint action of the symplectic group, only one embedding of the extended Heisenberg algebra into the Lie algebra of the symplectic group. Having understood the various group isomorphisms it is natural to ask for the relations between coorbit spaces of isomorphic groups with equivalent representations. These connections are examined in the second part of the paper. We describe how isomorphic groups with equivalent representations lead to isomorphic coorbit spaces. In particular we apply this result to square integrable representations of the connected shearlet groups and metaplectic representations of subgroups of the symplectic group. This implies the definition of metaplectic coorbit spaces. Besides the usual full and connected shearlet groups we also deal with Toeplitz shearlet groups.     

The Continuous Shearlet Transform in Arbitrary Space Dimensions

This paper is concerned with the generalization of the continuous shearlet transform to higher dimensions. Similar to the two-dimensional case, our approach is based on translations, anisotropic dilations and specific shear matrices. We show that the associated integral transform again originates from a square-integrable representation of a specific group, the full n-variate shearlet group. Moreover, we verify that by applying the coorbit theory, canonical scales of smoothness spaces and associated Banach frames can be derived. We also indicate how our transform can be used to characterize singularities in signals.     

Generalized coorbit space theory and inhomogeneous function spaces of Besov-Lizorkin-Triebel type

Coorbit space theory is an abstract approach to function spaces and their atomic decompositions. The original theory developed by Feichtinger and Gröchenig in the late 1980ies heavily uses integrable representations of locally compact groups. Their theory covers, in particular, homogeneous Besov-Lizorkin-Triebel spaces, modulation spaces, Bergman spaces and the recent shearlet spaces. However, inhomogeneous Besov-Lizorkin-Triebel spaces cannot be covered by their group theoretical approach. Later it was recognized by Fornasier and Rauhut (2005) [24] that one may replace coherent states related to the group representation by more general abstract continuous frames. In the first part of the present paper we significantly extend this abstract generalized coorbit space theory to treat a wider variety of coorbit spaces. A unified approach towards atomic decompositions and Banach frames with new results for general coorbit spaces is presented. In the second part we apply the abstract setting to a specific framework and study coorbits of what we call Peetre spaces. They allow to recover inhomogeneous Besov-Lizorkin-Triebel spaces of various types of interest as coorbits. We obtain several old and new wavelet characterizations based on explicit smoothness, decay, and vanishing moment assumptions of the respective wavelet. As main examples we obtain results for weighted spaces (Muckenhoupt, doubling), general 2-microlocal spaces, Besov-Lizorkin-Triebel-Morrey spaces, spaces of dominating mixed smoothness and even mixtures of the mentioned ones. Due to the generality of our approach, there are many more examples of interest where the abstract coorbit space theory is applicable.     

On the Interplay of Regularity and Decay in Case of Radial Functions II. Homogeneous Spaces

We deal with decay and boundedness properties of elements of radial subspaces of homogeneous Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces. For the region of parameters which are of interest for us these homogeneous spaces are larger than the inhomogeneous counterparts. By switching from the inhomogeneous spaces to the homogeneous classes the properties of the radial elements change. Our investigations are based on the atomic decompositions for radial subspaces in the sense of Epperson and Frazier (J.?Fourier Anal Appl. 1:311?C353, 1995). Finally, we apply these results for deriving some assertions on compact embeddings on unbounded domains.

Examples of Coorbit Spaces for Dual Pairs

In this paper we summarize and give examples of a generalization of the coorbit space theory initiated in the 1980’s by H.G. Feichtinger and K.H. Gröchenig. Coorbit theory has been a powerful tool in characterizing Banach spaces of distributions with the use of integrable representations of locally compact groups. Examples are a wavelet characterization of the Besov spaces and a characterization of some Bergman spaces by the discrete series representation of SL₂(?). We present examples of Banach spaces which could not be covered by the previous theory, and we also provide atomic decompositions for an example related to a non-integrable representation.     

Frames and Coorbit Theory on Homogeneous Spaces with a Special Guidance on the Sphere

The topic of this article is a generalization of the theory of coorbit spaces and related frame constructions to Banach spaces of functions or distributions over domains and manifolds. As a special case one obtains modulation spaces and Gabor frames on spheres. Group theoretical considerations allow first to introduce generalized wavelet transforms. These are then used to define coorbit spaces on homogeneous spaces, which consist of functions having their generalized wavelet transform in some weighted L_p space. We also describe natural ways of discretizing those wavelet transforms, or equivalently to obtain atomic decompositions and Banach frames for the corresponding coorbit spaces. Based on these facts we treat aspects of nonlinear approximation and show how the new theory can be applied to the Gabor transform on spheres. For the S¹ we exhibit concrete examples of admissible Gabor atoms which are very closely related to uncertainty minimizing states.     

Weighted Coorbit Spaces and Banach Frames on Homogeneous Spaces

This article is concerned with frame constructions on domains and manifolds. The starting point is a unitary group representation which is square integrable modulo a suitable subgroup and therefore gives rise to a generalized continuous wavelet transform. Then generalized coorbit spaces can be defined by collecting all functions for which this wavelet transform is contained in a weighted L_p-space. Moreover, we show that a judicious discretization of the representation leads to an atomic decomposition and to Banach frames for these coorbit spaces.     

Coorbit Spaces and Banach Frames on Homogeneous Spaces with Applications to the Sphere

This paper is concerned with the construction of generalized Banach frames on homogeneous spaces. The major tool is a unitary group representation which is square integrable modulo a certain subgroup. By means of this representation, generalized coorbit spaces can be defined. Moreover, we can construct a specific reproducing kernel which, after a judicious discretization, gives rise to atomic decompositions for these coorbit spaces. Furthermore, we show that under certain additional conditions our discretization method generates Banach frames. We also discuss nonlinear approximation schemes based on the atomic decomposition. As a classical example, we apply our construction to the problem of analyzing and approximating functions on the spheres.     

Global existence for the non-isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes-Poisson system in three and higher dimensions

We are concerned with the global existence and uniqueness of strong solutions for the non-isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes-Poisson system in the framework of hybrid Besov spaces in three and higher dimensions. These results extend paper (Hao and Li, 2009 [4]) devoted to the barotropic case.     

The Infinite-Dimensional Widths and Optimal Recovery of Generalized Besov Classes

The purpose of the present paper is to consider some weak asymptotic problems concerning the infinite-dimensional Kolmogorov widths, the infinite-dimensional linear widths, the infinite-dimensional Gel'fand widths and optimal recovery in Besov space. It is obvious to be found that the results obtained and methods used in Besov space are easily generalized, and hence in this paper these results in an extension of Besov spaces on R^d are stated and proved. Meantime, the representation theorem and approximation of these spaces by polynomial splines are discussed.     

General Coorbit Space Theory for Quasi-Banach Spaces and Inhomogeneous Function Spaces with Variable Smoothness and Integrability

In this paper we propose a general coorbit space theory suitable to define coorbits of quasi-Banach spaces using an abstract continuous frame, indexed by a locally compact Hausdorff space, and an associated generalized voice transform. The proposed theory realizes a further step in the development of a universal abstract theory towards various function spaces and their atomic decompositions which has been initiated by Feichtinger and Gröchenig in the late 1980s. We combine the recent approaches in Rauhut and Ullrich (J Funct Anal 260(11):3299–3362, 2011) and Rauhut (Stud Math 180(3):237–253, 2007) to identify, in particular, various inhomogeneous (quasi-Banach) spaces of Besov–Lizorkin–Triebel type. To prove the potential of our new theory we apply it to spaces with variable smoothness and integrability which have attracted significant interest in the last 10 years. From the abstract discretization machinery we obtain atomic decompositions as well as wavelet frame isomorphisms for these spaces.     

Secants of Lagrangian Grassmannians

We study the dimensions of secant varieties of Grassmannian of Lagrangian subspaces in a symplectic vector space. We calculate these dimensions for third and fourth secant varieties. Our result is obtained by providing a normal form for four general points on such a Grassmannian and by explicitly calculating the tangent spaces at these four points.     

B-Products of Besov type spaces and some applications

The paper derives a representation of classical Besov zero spaces by means of the so called B-products of the generalized Besov type zero spaces, generated by completely regular polyhedrons. Peetre K-functional is estimated and an interpolation formula of “real method” is proved for pairs of B-products. Some applications of these results are given.     

Harmonic Besov and Triebel–Lizorkin Spaces on the Ball

Harmonic Besov and Triebel–Lizorkin spaces on the unit ball in \({\mathbb R}^d\) with full range of parameters are introduced and studied. It is shown that these spaces can be identified with respective Besov and Triebel–Lizorkin spaces of distributions on the sphere. Frames consisting of harmonic functions are also developed and frame characterization of the harmonic Besov and Triebel–Lizorkin spaces is established.
