Slanted matrices, Banach frames, and sampling (Q952498)

Loosely speaking, a matrix is slanted if it has a decay property such that the coefficients vanish away from a diagonal (which is not necessarily the main diagonal). Examples of slanted matrices are given from Paley-Wiener spaces and reconstruction of functions, from frame theory in Hilbert spaces, and from signal processing and compression. The main result is an extrapolation result, saying that a slanted matrix of a certain type is bounded below in \(\mathcal{L}_p\) for some \(p\in[1,\infty]\) if and only if it is bounded below in \(\mathcal{L}_q\) for all \(q\in[1,\infty]\). Here, \(\mathcal{L}_p\) is the Banach space of families \(x=(x_n)_{n\in Z^d}\) with \(x_n\in X_n\) and \((X_n)\) is a family of (complex) Banach spaces. In the simplest case \(\mathcal{L}_p=l_p(Z)\). Applications of the result to Banach frames and sampling theory are given.
