We use a generalization of Wiener’s 1/f theorem to prove that for a Gabor frame with the generator in the Wiener amalgam space W (L∞, ` )(R), the corresponding frame operator is invertible on this space. Therefore, for such a Gabor frame, the generator of the canonical dual belongs also to W (L∞, ` )(R).

Functional Gabor single-frame or multi-frame generator multipliers are the matrices of function entries that preserve Parseval generators. An interesting and natural question is how to characterize all such multipliers. This has been answered for several special cases including case generators in two dimensions one-dimension. In this paper we completely with respect separable time-frequency lat...

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...

We investigate vector-valued Gabor frames (sometimes called Gabor superframes) based on Hermite functions Hn. Let h = (H0, H1, . . . , Hn) be the vector of the first n+ 1 Hermite functions. We give a complete characterization of all lattices Λ ⊆ R such that the Gabor system {e2πiλ2th(t − λ1) : λ = (λ1, λ2) ∈ Λ} is a frame for L(R,C). As a corollary we obtain sufficient conditions for a single H...

Discrete Gabor multipliers are composed of rank one operators. We shall prove, in the case of rank one projection operators, that the generating operators for such multipliers are either Riesz bases (exact frames) or not frames for their closed linear spans. The same dichotomy conclusion is valid for general rank one operators under mild and natural conditions. This is relevant since discrete G...

A Wilson orthonormal basis was constructed in 1991 by I. Daubechies, S. Jaffard and J.L. Journé from Gabor tight frame elements, when the redundancy of the Gabor system is 2. In 1994 P. Auscher gave a characterization of the atoms for which the Wilson system is an orthonormal basis. Afterwards, K. Gröchenig posed a question whether the construction of an orthonormal Wilson basis is possible for...

This paper addresses the natural question: “How should frames be compared?” We answer this question by quantifying the overcompleteness of all frames with the same index set. We introduce the concept of a frame measure function: a function which maps each frame to a continuous function. The comparison of these functions induces an equivalence and partial order that allows for a meaningful compa...

We consider a generator F 1⁄4 ðf1; y ;fNÞ for either a multi-frame or a super-frame generated under the action of a projective unitary representation for a discrete countable group. Examples of such frames include Gabor multi-frames, Gabor super-frames and frames for shift-invariant subspaces. We show that there exists a unique normalized tight multi-frame (resp. super-frame) generator C 1⁄4 ðc...

The quantum mechanical harmonic oscillator Hamiltonian H = (t − ∂ t )/2 generates a one–parameter unitary group W (θ) = e in L(R) which rotates the time–frequency plane. In particular, W (π/2) is the Fourier transform. When W (θ) is applied to any frame of Gabor wavelets, the result is another such frame with identical frame bounds. Thus each Gabor frame gives rise to a one–parameter family of ...
