Bessel sequences, wavelet frames, duals and extensions (Q1749019)

The main result of the paper is a construction of wavelet frames with canonical wavelet duals. The purpose is that canonical duals of wavelet frames may not be wavelet frames. This is not the case by Gabor frames, whose canonical duals are Gabor frames again. The difference between the two classes of frames is caused by the fact that Gabor frame operators have a certain commutativity property whereas such a property fails for wavelet frame operators. The authors present unified, general commutativity results applicable both to Gabor and wavelet frames. Based on these results, they construct sample wavelet frames with wavelet canonical duals. Further, the paper contains some extension results concerning Bessel sequences, namely that any Bessel sequence can be extended to a tight frame, and that any two Bessel sequences can be extended to dual frames. The paper is well-organized and well-written. It contains a nice historical survey. All the necessary notions are introduced. The proofs are accurate and clear.
