Abstract

We present a comprehensive analysis of the convergence properties of the frame operators of Weyl-Heisenberg systems and shift-invariant systems, and relate these to the convergence of the Walnut representation. We give a deep analysis of necessary conditions and sufficient conditions for convergence of the frame operator. We show that symmetric, norm and unconditional convergence of the Walnut series are all different, but that weak and norm convergence are the same, while there are WH-systems for which the Walnut representation has none of these convergence properties. We make a detailed study of the CC-Condition (a sufficient condition for WH-systems to have finite upper frame bounds), and show that (for ab rational) a uniform version of this passes to the Wexler-Raz dual. We also show that a condition of Tolimieri and Orr implies the uniform CC-Condition. We obtain stronger results in the case when (g,a,b) is a WH-system and ab is rational. For example, if ab is rational, then the CC-Condition becomes equivalent to the unconditional convergence of the Walnut representation - even in a more general setting. Many of the results are generalized to shift-invariant systems. We give classifications for numerous important classes of WH-systems including: (1) The WH-systems for which the frame operator extends to a bounded operator on L^p(R), 1\leq p; (2) The WH-systems for which the frame operator extends to a bounded operator on the Wiener amalgam space; (3) The families of frames which have the same frame operator.

Spaces with the maximal projection constant revisited

Let $n \geq 2$ be an integer such that an equiangular set of vectors $w_1, \ldots, w_d$ of the maximal possible cardinality (that is, attaining the classical Gerzon upper bound) exists in $\mathbb{K}^n$, where $\mathbb{K}=\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{K}=\mathbb{C}$ (so that $d=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}$ in the real case and $d=n^2$ in the complex case). We provide a complete characterization of $n$-dimensional normed spaces whose absolute projection constant is maximal among all $n$-dimensional normed spaces over $\mathbb{K}$. The characterization states that $X$ has the maximal projection constant if and only if it is isometric to a space whose dual unit ball is contained between the absolutely convex hull of the vectors $w_1, \ldots, w_d$ and a suitably rescaled zonotope generated by the same vectors. As a consequence, we obtain that, in the considered situations, $n=2$ with $\mathbb{K}=\mathbb{R}$ is the only case in which there is, up to isometry, a unique norm on $\mathbb{K}^n$ with the maximal projection constant. In this case, the unit ball is a linear image of a regular hexagon in $\mathbb{R}^2$.

Subdyadic time-frequency analysis: Gabor frames, modulation spaces, and Miyachi multipliers

We present a time-frequency framework adapted to dispersive phase functions via a subdyadic geometry in phase space. On top of this geometry we construct stable frequency-adaptive Gabor-type frames with quantitative control of overlap, almost orthogonality, and off-diagonal decay. Based on these frames we introduce modulation spaces consistent with the subdyadic scale and establish window and lattice independence, identifications in the Hilbertian case, duality, and natural inclusion relations. Within this setting we study high-frequency H"ormander--Miyachi multipliers, relying on discrete block almost diagonalization and direct localization estimates for the primal and canonical dual frames, and obtain boundedness on weighted modulation spaces. Finally, we give a subdyadic Gabor-frame characterization of H"ormander's classical local wavefront set and recover the standard microlocality and ellipticity properties of order-zero pseudodifferential operators. Taken together, these results provide a unified analytical framework for time--frequency analysis, dispersive multiplier theory, and local microlocal analysis in the subdyadic geometry.

B-Frames, B-Riesz bases, and Their tensor products

Like g-frames, b-frames were introduced to generalize the concept of frames, allowing for broader applications in signal processing and other fields. The advantage of b-frames resides in their simpler definition, which may lead to reduced processing times. In this paper, we define dual b-frames and b-Riesz bases which were not precisely defined in previous literature and provide several characterizations of b-Riesz bases. We prove that the tensor product of two sequences, each lying in a Hilbert space, constitutes a b-frame (or a b-Riesz basis) if and only if both components of the product are b-frames (or b-Riesz bases). Finally, we establish a correspondence between b-frames and g-frames and propose a process for constructing frames induced by b-frames.
