Weyl-Heisenberg Riesz bases generated by two intervals (Q1759434)

The authors consider Weyl-Heisenberg systems (also called Gabor systems) \[ (g,a,b)=\{ e^{2\pi i m bx} g(x-na) \}_{m, n \in \mathbb Z} \] with \(a=b=1\). They study two problems: I. Characterize the function \(\chi_{E}\), where \(E\) is a union of two separated intervals, so that \((\chi_{E},1,1)\) is a Riesz basis for \(L^{2}(\mathbb R)\). II. Characterize the two intervals \(I, J\) so that there exists \(r \in \mathbb R\) such that \((\chi_{E_{r}},1,1)\) is a Riesz basis for \(L^{2}(\mathbb R)\) where \(E_{r}=I \cup (J+r)\) is a union of two separated intervals. They solve Problem I completely, and give a solution to Problem II except for the case of \(|I|, |J| \notin \mathbb N\).
