Tight frame oversampling and its equivalence to shift-invariance of affine frame operators

Let generate a tight affine frame with dilation factor , where , and sampling constant (for the zeroth scale level).

The Second Oversampling Theorem asserts that oversampling of the given tight affine frame generated by preserves a tight affine frame, provided that is relatively prime to (i.e., ). In this paper, we discuss the preservation of tightness in oversampling, where (i.e., and ). We also show that tight affine frame preservation in oversampling is equivalent to the property of shift-invariance with respect to of the affine frame operator defined on the zeroth scale level.
