Donoho-Logan large sieve principles for the wavelet transform (Q6652569)

Let \(H^2({\mathbb C}^+)\) be the Hardy space on the upper complex half-plane \({\mathbb C}^+\). Following the ideas of \textit{D. L. Donoho} and \textit{B. F. Logan} [SIAM J. Appl. Math. 52, No. 2, 577--591 (1992, Zbl 0768.42001)] and adapting the concept of maximum Nyquist density, the authors formulate a large sieve principle for an analytic wavelet transform on \(H^2({\mathbb C}^+)\). The results provide deterministic guarantees for \(L^1\)-minimization methods and hold for mother wavelets that form an orthonormal basis of \(H^2({\mathbb C}^+)\). Explicit calculations of the basis functions reveal a connection with Zernike polynomials. Finally, the authors present a sharp uncertainty principle and a local Lieb inequality for analytic wavelets.
