Frames, Riesz bases, and sampling expansions in Banach spaces via semi-inner products (Q544035)

Frames and Riesz bases, as alternatives for orthonormal bases, bring more flexibility in representing elements in a Hilbert space. With the invention of the theory of wavelets, they find wide applications in the construction of bases for signal and image processing, time frequency analysis and so on. A main purpose of this paper is to provide a language for the study of frames and Riesz bases in Banach spaces, making smoother the passage from Hilbert spaces. The motivation comes from the establishment of a Shannon sampling theorem in Banach spaces of functions. Semi-inner products make possible the development of Hilbert space type arguments in Banach spaces. The authors redefine frames in Banach spaces via a compatible semi-inner product, which is a natural substitute for inner products on Hilbert spaces. The classical theory of frames and Riesz bases is somewhat generalized under this new perspective. The existence of some expansions in translation invariant reproducing kernel Hilbert and Banach spaces is discussed.
