Excesses of Gabor frames (Q1399095): Difference between revisions

Given a sequence \(\Lambda\) of points in \(\mathbb{R}^{2d}\) and \(g\in L^2(\mathbb{R}^d)\), the generated Gabor system consists of the functions \(\{e^{2\pi ibx}g(x-a)\}_{(a,b)\in \Lambda}\). Under mild conditions, it is proved that an overcomplete frame of this type has infinite excess: it is possible to remove an infinite number of elements from the sequence without destroying the frame property. The result even holds if the Gabor system is a frame for a subspace of \(L^2(\mathbb{R}^d)\). A similar result is proved for wavelets. In both cases, the results are actually stated and proved for multi-generated systems, and explicit examples of which types of subsets which can be removed are provided.
