Gabor frames with rational density

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We consider the frame property of the Gabor system G(g, {alpha}, {�eta}) = {e2{pi}i{�eta}nt g(t - {alpha}m) : m, n in Z} for the case of rational oversampling, i.e. {alpha}, {�eta} in Q. A 'rational' analogue of the Ron-Shen Gramian is constructed, and prove that for any odd window function g the system G(g, {alpha}, {�eta}) does not generate a frame if {alpha}{�eta} = (n-1)/n. Special attention is paid to the first Hermite function h_1(t) = te^(-{pi}t^2).


Let \(g\in L^2(\mathbb R)\) and let \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) be positive numbers. The Gabor system \(\mathcal{G}(g,\alpha,\beta)\) has the form \(\{ e^{2\pi {\text{ i}} \beta n t} g(t-\alpha m) : m,n\in \mathbb Z\}\). When \(g\) is given, an important question in Gabor analysis is to determine the set of parameters \(\alpha, \beta\) so that \(\mathcal{G}(g,\alpha,\beta)\) forms a frame for \(L^2(\mathbb R)\). The authors consider Gabor systems \(\mathcal{G}(g,\alpha,\beta)\) when \(\alpha\beta\in\mathbb Q\). They prove that for any odd function \(g\), which is in the modulation space \(M^1(\mathbb R)\), and \(\alpha\beta=\frac{n-1}{n}\), \(n\in\{2,3,4,\ldots\}\), the Gabor system \(\mathcal{G}(g,\alpha,\beta)\) does not form a frame for \(L^2(\mathbb R)\). For the particular function \(g(t)=h_1(t)=t e^{-\pi t^2}\), a conjecture is posed: if \(\alpha\beta<1\) and \(\alpha\beta\neq \frac{n-1}{n}\), \(n=1,2,3,\ldots\), then \(\mathcal{G}(h_1,\alpha,\beta)\) is a frame for \(L^2(\mathbb R)\). Further, for \(g\in M^1(\mathbb R)\) and \(\alpha\beta\in\mathbb Q\), the authors give a necessary and sufficient condition for \(\mathcal{G}(g,\alpha,\beta)\) to form a frame for \(L^2(\mathbb R)\), using a matrix which involves the Zak transform.
