On compactly supported dual windows of Gabor frames (Q2235870)

From the introduction: ``The main purpose of the paper is to give a characterization of all the dual windows which have compact support and to avoid operator inversions: Theorem 1.1. Let \( g\in L^2(\mathbb{R}) \) be compactly supported and such that \( G=\{E_{mb}T_{na}g\}_{m,n\in\mathbb{Z}} \) is a frame for \( L^2(\mathbb{R}) \) for some \( a,b>0. \) Assume that there is a compactly supported function \( g^d\in L^2(\mathbb{R}) \) so that \( G^d=\{E_{mb}T_{na}g^d\}_{m,n\in\mathbb{Z}} \) is a dual frame of \( G\). Then there is a finite set \( K \) (dependent on \( g\), \(g^d \), and \( a) \) so that all the compactly supported dual windows of \( G \) are in the form \[ \phi = g^d + w -\sum_{k\in K}\sum_{j\in\mathbb{Z}}\langle g^d,E_{jb}T_{ka}g\rangle E_{jb}T_{ka}w,\] where \( w\in L^2(\mathbb{R}) \) is compactly supported and such that \(\{E_{mb}T_{na}w\}_{m,n\in\mathbb{Z}} \) is a Bessel sequence in \( L^2(\mathbb{R}) \). As an application of Theorem 1.1, a procedure for approximation of the canonical dual window via compactly supported dual windows (Proposition 1.2) is given. Illustrative examples are given and implementations under the Matlab environment are provided.'' From the abstract: ``In particular, the procedure allows to have approximation of the canonical dual window via dual windows from certain modulation spaces or from the Scwartz space.''
