g-Besselian frames in Hilbert spaces

In this paper, we introduce the concept of a g-Besselian frame in a Hilbert space and discuss the relations between a g-Besselian frame and a Besselian frame. We also give some characterizations of g-Besselian frames. In the end of this paper, we discuss the stability of g-Besselian frames. Our results show that the relations and the characterizations between a g-Besselian frame and a Besselian frame are different from the corresponding results of g-frames and frames.     

Rational time-frequency multi-window subspace Gabor frames and their Gabor duals

This paper addresses the theory of multi-window subspace Gabor frame with rational time-frequency parameter products.With the help of a suitable Zak transform matrix,we characterize multi-window subspace Gabor frames,Riesz bases,orthonormal bases and the uniqueness of Gabor duals of type I and type II.Using these characterizations we obtain a class of multi-window subspace Gabor frames,Riesz bases,orthonormal bases,and at the same time we derive an explicit expression of their Gabor duals of type I and type II.As an application of the above results,we obtain characterizations of multi-window Gabor frames,Riesz bases and orthonormal bases for L2(R),and derive a parametric expression of Gabor duals for multi-window Gabor frames in L2(R).     

Constructing super Gabor frames: the rational time-frequency lattice case

For a time-frequency lattice Λ = A Z d B Z d , it is known that an orthonormal super Gabor frame of length L exists with respect to this lattice if and only if |det( AB) | = 1 L . The proof of this result involves various techniques from multi-lattice tiling and operator algebra theory, and it is far from constructive. In this paper we present a very general scheme for constructing super Gabor frames for the rational lattice case. Our method is based on partitioning an arbitrary fundamental domain of the lattice in the frequency domain such that each subset in the partition tiles R d by the lattice in the time domain. This approach not only provides us a simple algorithm of constructing various kinds of orthonormal super Gabor frames with flexible length and multiplicity, but also allows us to construct super Gabor (non-Riesz) frames with high order smoothness and regularity. Several examples are also presented.     

The finite-dimensional decomposition property in non-Archimedean Banach spaces

A non-Archimedean Banach space has the orthogonal finite-dimensional decomposition property（OFDDP） if it is the orthogonal direct sum of a sequence of finite-dimensional subspaces.This property has an influence in the non-Archimedean Grothendieck＇s approximation theory,where an open problem is the following： Let E be a non-Archimedean Banach space of countable type with the OFDDP and let D be a closed subspace of E.Does D have the OFDDP？ In this paper we give a negative answer to this question; we construct a Banach space of countable type with the OFDDP having a one-codimensional subspace without the OFDDP.Next we prove that,however,for certain classes of Banach spaces of countable type,the OFDDP is preserved by taking finite-codimensional subspaces.     

GENERALIZED CIRCLES AND THEIR CONFORMAL MAPPING IN A SUBSPACE OF A WEYL SPACE

The authors give the necessary and sufficient conditions for a generalized circle in a Weyl hypersurface to be generalized circle in the enveloping Weyl space. They then obtain the neccessary and sufficient conditions under which a generalized concircular transformation of one Weyl space onto another induces a generalized transformation oil its subspaces. Finally, it is shown that any totally geodesic or totally umbilical hypersurface of a generalized concircularly flat Weyl space is also generalized concircularly flat.     

RIESZ FRAMES AND APPROXIMATION OF THE FRAME COEFFICIENTS

A frame is a fmaily {f_i}_(i=1)~∞ of elements in a Hilbert space with the property that everyelement in can be written as a (infinite) linear combination of the frame elements. Frametheory describes how one can choose the corresponding coefficients, which are called frame coef-ficients. From the mathematical point of view this is gratifying, but for applications it is aproblem that the calculation requires inversion of an operator on . The projection method is introduced in order to avoid this problem. The basic idea is to con-sider finite subfamilies {f_i}_(i=1)~n of the frame and the orthogonal projection P_n onto its span. Forf∈, P_n f has a representation as a linear combination of f_i,i=1,2,…,n and the correspond-ing coefficients, can be calculated using finite dimensional methods. We find conditions implyingthat those coefficients converge to the correct frame coefficients as n→∞, in which case we haveavoided the inversion problem. In the same spirit we approximate the solution to a moment prob-lem. It turns out, that the class of "well-behaving frames" are identical for the two problemswe consider.     

About Operator Weighted Shift

Abstract Let H be a complex seperable Hilbert space and ~（Jt~） denote the collection of bounded linear operators on H. For an operator in L（H）, rad{A}＇ denotes the Jacobson radical of the commutant of A. This paper characterizes the similarity of strongly irreducible operator weighted shift in terms of {A}＇/rad{A}＇. Moreover, we suggest some ways to determine when an operator weighted shift is strongly irreducible and when its commutant is commutative.     

G-frames and g-frame sequences in Hilbert spaces

In this paper, we first determine the relations among the best bounds A and B of the g-frame, the g-frame operator S and the pre-frame operator Q and give a necessary and sufficient condition for a g-frame with bounds A and B in a complex Hilbert space. We also introduce the definition of a g-frame sequence and obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for a g-frame sequence with bounds A and B in a complex Hilbert space. Lastly, we consider the stability of a g-frame sequence for a complex Hilbert space under perturbation.     

Characterizations of g-frames and g-Riesz bases in Hilbert spaces

In this paper, we introduce the pre-frame operator Q for the g-frame in a complex Hilbert space, which will play a key role in studying g-frames and g-Riesz bases etc. Using the pre-frame operator Q, we give some necessary and sufficient conditions for a g-Bessel sequence, a g-frame, and a g-Riesz basis in a complex Hilbert space, which have properties similar to those of the Bessel sequence, frame, and Riesz basis respectively. We also obtain the relation between a g-frame and a g-Riesz basis, and the relation of bounds between a g-frame and a g-Riesz basis. Lastly, we consider the stability of a g-frame or a g-Riesz basis for a Hilbert space under perturbation.     

τ-CHEBYSHEV AND τ-COCHEBYSHEV SUBPSACES OF BANACH SPACES

The concepts of quasi-Chebyshev and weakly-Chebyshev and σ-Chebyshev were defined [3 - 7], andas a counterpart to best approximation in normed linear spaces, best coapprozimation was introduced by Franchetti and Furi^[1]. In this research, we shall define τ-Chebyshev subspaces and τ-cochebyshev subspaces of a Banach space, in which the property τ is compact or weakly-compact, respectively. A set of necessary and sufficient theorems under which a subspace is τ-Chebyshev is defined.     

Some properties of frames of subspaces obtained by operator theory methods

We study the relationship among operators, orthonormal basis of subspaces and frames of subspaces (also called fusion frames) for a separable Hilbert space H. We get sufficient conditions on an orthonormal basis of subspaces E={Ei}_i∈I of a Hilbert space K and a surjective T∈L(K,H) in order that {T(Ei)}_i∈I is a frame of subspaces with respect to a computable sequence of weights. We also obtain generalizations of results in [J.A. Antezana, G. Corach, M. Ruiz, D. Stojanoff, Oblique projections and frames, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 134 (2006) 1031-1037], which relate frames of subspaces (including the computation of their weights) and oblique projections. The notion of refinement of a fusion frame is defined and used to obtain results about the excess of such frames. We study the set of admissible weights for a generating sequence of subspaces. Several examples are given.     

Sparse fusion frames: existence and construction

Fusion frame theory is an emerging mathematical theory that provides a natural framework for performing hierarchical data processing. A fusion frame can be regarded as a frame-like collection of subspaces in a Hilbert space, and thereby generalizes the concept of a frame for signal representation. However, when the signal and/or subspace dimensions are large, the decomposition of the signal into its fusion frame measurements through subspace projections typically requires a large number of additions and multiplications, and this makes the decomposition intractable in applications with limited computing budget. To address this problem, in this paper, we introduce the notion of a sparse fusion frame, that is, a fusion frame whose subspaces are generated by orthonormal basis vectors that are sparse in a ‘uniform basis’ over all subspaces, thereby enabling low-complexity fusion frame decompositions. We study the existence and construction of sparse fusion frames, but our focus is on developing simple algorithmic constructions that can easily be adopted in practice to produce sparse fusion frames with desired (given) operators. By a desired (or given) operator we simply mean one that has a desired (or given) set of eigenvalues for the fusion frame operator. We start by presenting a complete characterization of Parseval fusion frames in terms of the existence of special isometries defined on an encompassing Hilbert space. We then introduce two general methodologies to generate new fusion frames from existing ones, namely the Spatial Complement Method and the Naimark Complement Method, and analyze the relationship between the parameters of the original and the new fusion frame. We proceed by establishing existence conditions for 2-sparse fusion frames for any given fusion frame operator, for which the eigenvalues are greater than or equal to two. We then provide an easily implementable algorithm for computing such 2-sparse fusion frames.     

New characterizations of fusion frames (frames of subspaces)

In this article, we give new characterizations of fusion frames, on the properties of their synthesis operators, on the behavior of fusion frames under bounded operators with closed range, and on erasures of subspaces of fusion frames. Furthermore we show that every fusion frame is the image of an orthonormal fusion basis under a bounded surjective operator.     

Oblique Dual Fusion Frames

We introduce and develop the concept of oblique duality for fusion frames. This concept provides a mathematical framework to deal with problems in distributed signal processing where the signals considered as elements in a Hilbert space are, under certain requirements, analyzed in one subspace and reconstructed in another subspace. The requirements are, on one side, the uniqueness of the reconstructed signal, and on the other what we call consistency of the sampling for fusion frames. Both conditions are naturally related to oblique projections. We study the main properties of oblique dual fusion frames and oblique dual fusion frame systems introduced in this work and present several results that provide alternative methods for their construction.     

Robust dimension reduction,fusion frames,and Grassmannian packings

We consider estimating a random vector from its measurements in a fusion frame, in presence of noise and subspace erasures. A fusion frame is a collection of subspaces, for which the sum of the projection operators onto the subspaces is bounded below and above by constant multiples of the identity operator. We first consider the linear minimum mean-squared error (LMMSE) estimation of the random vector of interest from its fusion frame measurements in the presence of additive white noise. Each fusion frame measurement is a vector whose elements are inner products of an orthogonal basis for a fusion frame subspace and the random vector of interest. We derive bounds on the mean-squared error (MSE) and show that the MSE will achieve its lower bound if the fusion frame is tight. We then analyze the robustness of the constructed LMMSE estimator to erasures of the fusion frame subspaces. We limit our erasure analysis to the class of tight fusion frames and assume that all erasures are equally important. Under these assumptions, we prove that tight fusion frames consisting of equi-dimensional subspaces have maximum robustness (in the MSE sense) with respect to erasures of one subspace among all tight fusion frames, and that the optimal subspace dimension depends on signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). We also prove that tight fusion frames consisting of equi-dimensional subspaces with equal pairwise chordal distances are most robust with respect to two and more subspace erasures, among the class of equi-dimensional tight fusion frames. We call such fusion frames equi-distance tight fusion frames. We prove that the squared chordal distance between the subspaces in such fusion frames meets the so-called simplex bound, and thereby establish connections between equi-distance tight fusion frames and optimal Grassmannian packings. Finally, we present several examples for the construction of equi-distance tight fusion frames.     

Welch bounds for cross correlation of subspaces and generalizations

Lower bounds on the maximal cross correlation between vectors in a set were first given by Welch and then studied by several others. In this work, this is extended to obtaining lower bounds on the maximal cross correlation between subspaces of a given Hilbert space. Two different notions of cross correlation among spaces have been considered. The study of such bounds is done in terms of fusion frames, including generalized fusion frames. In addition, results on the expectation of the cross correlation among random vectors have been obtained.     

Weighted fusion frame construction via spectral tetris

Fusion frames consist of a sequence of subspaces from a Hilbert space and corresponding positive weights so that the sum of weighted orthogonal projections onto these subspaces is an invertible operator on the space. Given a spectrum for a desired fusion frame operator and dimensions for subspaces, one existing method for creating unit-weight fusion frames with these properties is the flexible and elementary procedure known as spectral tetris. Despite the extensive literature on fusion frames, until now there has been no construction of fusion frames with prescribed weights. In this paper we use spectral tetris to construct more general, arbitrarily weighted fusion frames. Moreover, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for when a desired fusion frame can be constructed via spectral tetris.     

Equivalence relations and distances between Hilbert frames

We study some equivalency relations between Hilbert frames and closed subspaces of . We define also a distance between frames and we establish the geometric meaning of this metric. Finally we find the closest and respectively the nearest tight frame to a given frame.

     

Parseval frames for ICC groups

We analyze Parseval frames generated by the action of an ICC group on a Hilbert space. We parametrize the set of all such Parseval frames by operators in the commutant of the corresponding representation. We characterize when two such frames are strongly disjoint. We prove an undersampling result showing that if the representation has a Parseval frame of equal norm vectors of norm , the Hilbert space is spanned by an orthonormal basis generated by a subgroup. As applications we obtain some sufficient conditions under which a unitary representation admits a Parseval frame which is spanned by a Riesz sequences generated by a subgroup. In particular, every subrepresentation of the left-regular representation of a free group has this property.     

On the Riesz fusion bases in Hilbert spaces

In this paper we investigate the connection between fusion frames and obtain a relation between indexes of the synthesis operators of a Besselian fusion frame and associated frame to it. Next we introduce a new notion of a Riesz fusion bases in a Hilbert space. We show that any Riesz fusion basis is equivalent with a orthonormal fusion basis. We also obtain generalizations of Theorem 4.6 of [1]. Our results generalize results obtained for Riesz bases in Hilbert spaces. Finally we obtain some results about stability of fusion frame sequences under small perturbations.
