An introduction to frames and Riesz bases (Q5899520)

The first edition of this book appeared in 2003 and was reviewed in Zbl 1017.42022. Here is a brief -- and by no means exhaustive -- summary of changes in this second edition. The new material mainly occurs in new chapters and sections, but the entire book has been updated with additional results and comments. There are new sections on tight frames and dual pairs of frames in finite dimensional space, fusion frames, applications of frames, the relationship between harmonic frames and ongoing research in finite frame theory, Riesz sequences, sampling and analog-digital conversion, relations between frames and their subsequences, Feichtinger's conjecture, the canonical dual of a frame of translates, oblique duals, applications of frames of translates within sampling theory, connections between B-splines and Gabor frames, the duality principle for Gabor frames, localized Gabor frames, time-frequency localization of Gabor expansions, duality of Gabor frames in \(\ell^2(Z)\) and \(\ell^2(Z^d)\), construction of periodic Gabor frames in \(L^2(0,L)\) via periodization, description of the transition from a Gabor frame in \(L^2(\mathbb{R})\) to a finite-dimensional model in \(C^L\), dual pairs of wavelet frames, convergence estimates in the context of finite-dimensional approximations of the inverse frame operator. In the appendices there are new sections stating the key properties of modulation spaces, Feichtinger's algebra, exponential B-splines, and splines on LCA groups. There are several new chapters: Chapter 6 collects results about tight frames and dual pairs of frames in general Hilbert spaces. Chapter 8 contains sections on G-frames, localizations of frames, R-dual sequences, a frame-like theory via unbounded operators, as well as a discussion of frames in the context of signal processing. Chapter 10 discusses shift-invariant systems, Chapter 12 deals with dual pairs of Gabor frames and tight Gabor frames. Chapter 19 -- on selected topics on wavelet frames -- gathers some sections that appeared in the first edition, but the sections on the extension problem and signal processing are new. Chapter 20 deals with generalized shift-invariant systems. Chapter 21 studies frames on locally compact abelian groups. As a consequence of all these additions and updates, whereas the first edition had 420 pages and listed 294 bibliographical items, the second edition has 700 pages and the bibliography has expanded to 645 items. As in the first edition, the author presents the core material in great detail, while other topics are treated as research topics with more emphasis on the connections between results than on the proofs.
