چکیده
Abstract. The refinement equation φ(t) = ∑N2 k=N1 ck φ(2t − k) plays a key role in wavelet theory and in subdivision schemes in approximation theory. Viewed as an expression of linear dependence among the time-scale translates |a|1/2φ(at − b) of φ ∈ L2(R), it is natural to ask if there exist similar dependencies among the time-frequency translates e2πibtf(t + a) of f ∈ L2(R). In other words, what is the effect of replacing the group representation of L2(R) induced by the affine group with the corresponding representation induced by the Heisenberg group? This paper proves that there are no nonzero solutions to lattice-type generalizations of the refinement equation to the Heisenberg group. Moreover, it is proved that for each arbitrary finite collection {(ak , bk)}k=1, the set of all functions f ∈ L2(R) such that {e2πibktf(t+ ak)}k=1 is independent is an open, dense subset of L2(R). It is conjectured that this set is all of L2(R) \ {0}.

Linear Independence of Time-frequency Translates in R
We establish the linear independence of time-frequency translates for functions f on R having one sided decay limx∈H, |x|→∞ |f(x)|ec|x| log |x| = 0 for all c > 0, which do not vanish on an affine half-space H ⊂ R.
متن کاملLinear Independence of Time Frequency Translates for Special Configurations
We prove that for any 4 points in the plane that belong to 2 parallel lines, there is no linear dependence between the associated time-frequency translates of any nontrivial Schwartz function. If mild Diophantine properties are satisfied, we also prove linear independence in the category of L2(R) functions.

We establish the linear independence of time-frequency translates for functions f having one sided decay limx→∞ |f(x)|e log x = 0 for all c > 0. We also prove such results for functions with faster than exponential decay, i.e., limx→∞ |f(x)|e = 0 for all c > 0, under some additional restrictions.

متن کاملA Necessary and Sufficient Condition for the Linear Independence of the Integer Translates of a Compactly Supported Distribution
Given a multivariate compactly supported distribution φ, we derive here a necessary and sufficient condition for the global linear independence of its integer translates. This condition is based on the location of the zeros of φ̂ = The Fourier-Laplace transform of φ. The utility of the condition is demonstrated by several examples and applications, showing in particular, that previous results on...
