Frame constants of Gabor frames near the critical density

Density of Gabor Frames

Gabor frames with rational density

We consider the frame property of the Gabor system G(g, α, β) = {eg(t − αm) : m,n ∈ Z} for the case of rational oversampling, i.e. α, β ∈ Q. A ’rational’ analogue of the Ron-Shen Gramian is constructed, and prove that for any odd window function g the system G(g, α, β) does not generate a frame if αβ = n−1 n . Special attention is paid to the first Hermite function h1(t) = te −πt .

Frame Representations and Parseval Duals with Applications to Gabor Frames

Let {xn} be a frame for a Hilbert space H. We investigate the conditions under which there exists a dual frame for {xn} which is also a Parseval (or tight) frame. We show that the existence of a Parseval dual is equivalent to the problem whether {xn} can be dilated to an orthonormal basis (under an oblique projection). A necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of Parseval duals is ...

History and Evolution of the Density Theorem for Gabor Frames

The Density Theorem for Gabor Frames is one of the fundamental results of time-frequency analysis. This expository survey attempts to reconstruct the long and very involved history of this theorem and to present its context and evolution, from the onedimensional rectangular lattice setting, to arbitrary lattices in higher dimensions, to irregular Gabor frames, and most recently beyond the setti...

Density, Overcompleteness, and Localization of Frames. Ii. Gabor Systems

This work develops a quantitative framework for describing the overcompleteness of a large class of frames. A previous article introduced notions of localization and approximation between two frames F = {fi}i∈I and E = {ej}j∈G (G a discrete abelian group), relating the decay of the expansion of the elements of F in terms of the elements of E via a map a : I → G. This article shows that those ab...
