Frames of translates (Q5935764): Difference between revisions

The authors give necessary and sufficient conditions for a subfamily of regularly spaced translates of a function \(\Phi\in L^2({\mathbb Z})\), \(\{\Phi(\cdot-n);n\in\Lambda\}\), \(\Lambda\subset{\mathbb Z}\), to form a frame (resp. a Riesz basis) for its closed linear span. One consequence is that if \(\Lambda\subset{\mathbb N}\), then this family is a frame sequence for its span if and only if it is a Riesz basis for its span. For the case of arbitrary translates of a function \(\Phi\in L^1\), the authors show that for sparse sets of shifts, having an upper frame bound is equivalent to the family being a frame sequence. Also they give some relatively mild density conditions which yield frame sequences. Finally, they estimate the fractional Hausdorff dimension for classes of exact frame sequences (i.e., Riesz basis sequences).
