Perturbations of Weyl-Heisenberg frames. (Q1860912)

Weyl-Heisenberg frames \(\{g(e^{2\pi i m b t}-na); m, n \in \mathbb{Z}\}\) are extremely sensitive to even arbitrary small changes in the function \(g\) and in the translation and modulation parameters \(a\) and \(b\). As a result, there are few general theorems on perturbations of these frames and those that exist are often very technical in nature. In the paper under review a usable perturbation theory for Weyl-Heisenberg frames is developed. In particular, the authors show that a suitably small perturbation of \(g\) in the Wiener amalgam space norm preserves the frame property. They also prove perturbation results for the parameters \(a\) and \(b\).
