Stability of wavelet frames and Riesz bases, with respect to dilations and translations (Q2701588)

Given \(\psi \in L^2(R^n)\) and parameters \(a_0>1, b_0>0\), the associated wavelet system is the set of functions \(\psi_{j,k,a_0,b_0}=a_0^{jn/2} \psi(a_0^{j}x-kb_0)\), \(j\in Z\), \(k\in Z^n\). \(\{\psi_{j,k,a_0,b_0}\}\) is a frame for \(L^2(R^n)\) if there exist constants \(A,B>0\) such that for all \(f\in L^2(R^n)\), \(A\|f\|^2 \leq \sum_{j,k} |\langle f, \psi_{j,k,a_0,b_0}\rangle |^2\leq B\|f\|^2\). Generalizing a result by Balan, the author proves that if \(\{\psi_{j,k,a_0,b_0}\}\) is a frame and \(\widehat{\psi}\) has sufficient decay, then there exists \(\delta >0\) such that \(\{\psi_{j,k,a_0,b}\}\) is a frame for all \(b>0\) such that \(|b-b_0|\leq \delta\). In case \(\widehat{\psi}\) has small support estimates for the frame bounds are given. A similar result is obtained for nonhomogeneous frames, i.e., frames consisting of a wavelet system and a family of translates.
