Frames associated with shift invariant spaces on positive half line

We study nonuniform sampling in shift-invariant spaces and the construction of Gabor frames with respect to the class of totally positive functions whose Fourier transform factors as hat{g}(xi )= prod _{j=1}^n (1+2pi idelta _jxi )^{-1} , e^{-c xi ^2} for delta _1,ldots ,delta _nin mathbb {R}, c >0 (in which case g is called totally positive of Gaussian type). In analogy to Beurling’s sampling theorem for the Paley–Wiener space of entire functions, we prove that every separated set with lower Beurling density >1 is a sampling set for the shift-invariant space generated by such a g. In view of the known necessary density conditions, this result is optimal and validates the heuristic reasonings in the engineering literature. Using a subtle connection between sampling in shift-invariant spaces and the theory of Gabor frames, we show that the set of phase-space shifts of g with respect to a rectangular lattice alpha mathbb {Z}times beta mathbb {Z} forms a frame, if and only if alpha beta <1. This solves an open problem going back to Daubechies in 1990 for the class of totally positive functions of Gaussian type. The proof strategy involves the connection between sampling in shift-invariant spaces and Gabor frames, a new characterization of sampling sets “without inequalities” in the style of Beurling, new properties of totally positive functions, and the interplay between zero sets of functions in a shift-invariant space and functions in the Bargmann–Fock space.

The Feichtinger conjecture is considered for three special families of frames. It is shown that if a wavelet frame satisfies a certain weak regularity condition, then it can be written as the finite union of Riesz basic sequences each of which is a wavelet system. Moreover, the above is not true for general wavelet frames. It is also shown that a sup-adjoint Gabor frame can be written as the finite union of Riesz basic sequences. Finally, we show how existing techniques can be applied to determine whether frames of translates can be written as the finite union of Riesz basic sequences. We end by giving an example of a frame of translates such that any Riesz basic subsequence must consist of highly irregular translates.

Gabardo and Nashed [Nonuniform multiresolution analysis and spectral pairs, J. Funct. Anal.158 (1998) 209–241] introduced the Nonuniform multiresolution analysis (NUMRA) whose translation set is not a group. Farkov [Orthogonal p-wavelets on ℝ+, in Proc. Int. Conf. Wavelets and Splines (St. Petersburg State University, St. Petersburg, 2005), pp. 4–26] studied multiresolution analysis (MRA) on positive half line and constructed associated wavelets. Meenakshi et al. [Wavelets associated with Nonuniform multiresolution analysis on positive half line, Int. J. Wavelets, Multiresolut. Inf. Process.10(2) (2011) 1250018, 27pp.] studied NUMRA on positive half line and proved the analogue of Cohen's condition for the NUMRA on positive half line. We construct the associated wavelet packets for such an MRA and study its properties.

The material presented so far naturally splits in two parts: a functional analytic treatment of frames in general Hilbert spaces, and a more direct approach to structured frames like Gabor frames and wavelet frames. In this final chapter we make connections to abstract harmonic analysis and show how we can gain insight about frames via the theory for group representations. More precisely, we show how the orthogonality relations for square-integrable group representations lead to series expansions of the elements in the underlying Hilbert space; on a concrete level, this gives an alternative approach to Gabor systems and wavelet systems. Feichtinger and Gröchenig proved that the group-theoretic setup even allows us to obtain series expansions in a large scale of Banach spaces, a result which leads Gröchenig to define frames in Banach spaces. By removing some of the conditions we obtain p-frames, first studied separately by Aldroubi, Sun, and Tang.

In this research letter, we investigate the sampling set for the shift-invariant spaces, where the generator of shift-invariant spaces belongs to Wiener-amalgam space. Furthermore, a sufficient condition of sampling set for general shift-invariant spaces is derived, which is the partial solution of Aldroubi-Grochenig conjecture (Aldroubi and Grochenig, 2000).

Gabor Frames in L2(R)

Starting from any two compactly supported d-refinable function vectors in (L2(R))r with multiplicity r and dilation factor d, we show that it is always possible to construct 2rd wavelet functions with compact support such that they generate a pair of dual d-wavelet frames in L2(R) and they achieve the best possible orders of vanishing moments. When all the components of the two real-valued d-refinable function vectors are either symmetric or antisymmetric with their symmetry centers differing by half integers, such 2rd wavelet functions, which generate a pair of dual d-wavelet frames, can be real-valued and be either symmetric or antisymmetric with the same symmetry center. Wavelet frames from any d-refinable function vector are also considered. This paper generalizes the work in [5,12,13] on constructing dual wavelet frames from scalar refinable functions to the multiwavelet case. Examples are provided to illustrate the construction in this paper.

Vector‐valued frames were first introduced under the name of superframes by Balan in the context of signal multiplexing and by Han and Larson from the mathematical aspect. Since then, the wavelet and Gabor frames in have interested many mathematicians. The space models vector‐valued causal signal spaces because of the time variable being nonnegative. But it admits no nontrivial shift‐invariant system and thus no wavelet or Gabor frame since is not a group by addition (not as ). Observing that is a group by multiplication, we, in this paper, introduce a class of multiplication‐based dilation‐and‐modulation ( ) systems, and investigate the theory of frames in . Since is not closed under the Fourier transform, the Fourier transform does not fit . We introduce the notion of Θa transform in , and using Θa‐transform matrix method, we characterize frames, Riesz bases, and dual frames in and obtain an explicit expression of duals for an arbitrary given frame. An example theorem is also presented.

Optimal shift invariant spaces and their Parseval frame generators

G?vruta studied atomic systems in terms of frames for range of operators (that is, for subspaces), namely ?-frames, where the lower frame condition is controlled by the Hilbert-adjoint of a bounded linear operator?. For a locally compact abelian groupGand a positive integer n, westudy frames of matrix-valued Gabor systems in the matrix-valued Lebesgue space L2(G,Cn?n) , where a bounded linear operator ? on L2(G,Cn?n) controls not only lower but also the upper frame condition. We term such frames matrix-valued (?,?*)-Gabor frames. Firstly, we discuss frame preserving mapping in terms of hyponormal operators. Secondly, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of matrix-valued (?,?*)- Gabor frames in terms of hyponormal operators. It is shown that if ? is adjointable hyponormal operator, then L2(G,Cn?n) admits a ?-tight (?,?*)-Gabor frame for every positive real number ?. A characterization of matrix-valued (?,?*)-Gabor frames is given. Finally, we show that matrix-valued (?,?*)-Gabor frames are stable under small perturbation of window functions. Several examples are given to support our study.

Gabardo and Nashed have studied nonuniform multiresolution analysis based on the theory of spectral pairs in a series of papers, see Refs. 4 and 5. Farkov,3 has extended the notion of multiresolution analysis on locally compact Abelian groups and constructed the compactly supported orthogonal p-wavelets on L2(ℝ+). We have considered the nonuniform multiresolution analysis on positive half-line. The associated subspace V0 of L2(ℝ+) has an orthonormal basis, a collection of translates of the scaling function φ of the form {φ(x ⊖ λ)}λ∈Λ+ where Λ+ = {0, r/N} + ℤ+, N &gt; 1 (an integer) and r is an odd integer with 1 ≤ r ≤ 2N - 1 such that r and N are relatively prime and ℤ+ is the set of non-negative integers. We find the necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of associated wavelets and derive the analogue of Cohen's condition for the nonuniform multiresolution analysis on the positive half-line.

Wiener-Hopf factorization, inverse Fourier transforms and exponentially dichotomous operators

We construct a class of generalized nonlinear coherent states by means of a newly obtained class of 2D complex orthogonal polynomials. The associated Bargmann-type transform is discussed. A polynomials realization of the basis of the quantum states Hilbert space is also obtained. Here, the entire structure owes its existence to a certain measure on the positive real half line, of finite total mass, together with all its moments. We illustrate this method with the measure $$r^\beta e^{-r}dr$$, where $$\beta $$ is a non-negative constant, which leads to a new generalization of the true-polyanalytic Bargmann transform.

It is well known that the canonical dual frames of Gabor frames $$\{M_{mb}T_{na}g, m,n \in \mathbb {Z}\} $$ and frames of translates $$\{ T_k\phi : k \in \mathbb {Z}\}$$ , where $$g,\phi \in L^2(\mathbb {R}) \quad a,b>0, \,T_xf(y) = f(y-x), M_xf(y) = e^{2 \pi i xy}f(y)$$ , possess similar structure. But this is not true in general in the case of a wavelet frame. It has been a long standing problem to obtain a necessary and sufficient condition under which the canonical dual or any other dual of a wavelet frame has the wavelet structure. Until now, the problem still remains open. In this article, we give a short survey of some of the reported research towards this problem.
