The recently introduced notion of frame potential has proven useful for the characterization of finite-dimensional tight frames. The present work represents an effort to similarly characterize finite-dimensional tight frames with additional imposed structure. In particular, it is shown that the frame potential still leads to a complete description of tight frames when restricted to the class of...

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...

Two algorithms for constructing a class of compactly supported complex tight wavelet frames with conjugate symmetry are provided. Firstly, based on a given complex refinable function φ, an explicit formula for constructing complex tight wavelet frames is presented. If the given complex refinable function φ is compactly supported conjugate symmetric, then we prove that there exists a compactly s...

Let M be a dilation matrix, Ψ a finite family of L-functions, andP the collection of all nonsingular matrices P such that M , P , and PMP−1 have integer entries. The objective of this paper is two-fold. Firstly, for each P in P , we characterize all tight affine frames X(Ψ, M) generated by Ψ such that the over-sampled affine systems X (Ψ, M) relative to the “over-sampling rate” P remain to be t...

An important tool for the construction of tight wavelet frames is the Unitary Extension Principle first formulated in the Fourierdomain by Ron and Shen. We show that the time-domain analogue of this principle provides a unified approach to the construction of tight frames based on many variations of multiresolution analyses, e.g., regular refinements of bounded L-shaped domains, refinements of ...

A construction approach for the 3-band tight wavelet frames by factorization of paraunitarymatrix is developed. Several necessary constraints on the filter lengths and symmetric features of wavelet frames are investigated starting at the constructed paraunitary matrix. The matrix is a symmetric extension of the polyphase matrix corresponding to 3-band tight wavelet frames. Further, the paramete...

We are interested here in wavelet frames and their construction via multiresolution analysis (MRA); of particular interest to us are tight wavelet frames. The redundant representation offered by wavelet frames has already been put to good use for signal denoising, and is currently explored for image compression. Motivated by these and other applications, we explore in this article the theory of...

We show that RIP frames, tight frames satisfying the restricted isometry property, give rise to nearly tight fusion frames which are nearly orthogonal and hence are nearly equi-isoclinic. We also show how to replace parts of the RIP frame with orthonormal sets while maintaining the restricted isometry property.

We study frames for robust transmission over the Internet. In our previous work, we used quantized finite-dimensional frames to achieve resilience to packet losses; here, we allow the input to be a sequence in 2( ) and focus on a filter-bank implementation of the system. We present results in parallel, or versus 2( ), and show that uniform tight frames, as well as newly introduced strongly unif...
