The \(abc\)-problem for Gabor systems (Q6829080)

The Gabor system, of a window function \(\phi,\) is a system of functions \N\[\N{\mathcal G}(\phi, a \mathbb Z \times b \mathbb Z):=\{e^{-2 \pi i n b t}\phi(t-ma): m \times n \in \mathbb Z\times \mathbb Z\},\N\]\N that forms a Gabor frame for the square-integrable functions of the whole line. In particular the function \(\phi\) can be considered to be the characteristic function of an interval \(I\) of length \(c.\) Using the time domain approach the authors provide a full classification of this problem. They use the non-contractive and non measure preserving transformation on the real line to provide the full classification of the problem. They provide all possible cases on the parameters \(a\), \(b\) and \(c\).
