for all f ∈ H.A and B are called frame bounds.The sequence is called a tight frame if A = B. The sequence is called Bessel if the second inequality above holds. In this case, B is called the Bessel bound. Frames were first introduced by Duffin and Schaeffer [1] in the context of nonharmonic Fourier series, and today they have applications in a wide range of areas. A frame can be considered as a...

In order to obtain better coverage of the population of interest and cost less, a number of surveys employ dual frame structure, in which independent samples are taken from two overlapping sampling frames. This research considers chi-squared tests in dual frame surveys when categorical data is encountered. We extend generalized Wald’s (1943) test, Rao-Scott first-order and second-order correcte...

Recently Flanagan [1] has argued that the Palatini form of 1/R gravity is ruled out by experiments such as electron-electron scattering. His argument involves adding minimally coupled fermions in the Jordan frame and transforming to the Einstein frame. This produces additional terms that are ruled out experimentally. Here I argue that this conclusion is false. It is well known that conformally ...

We study sparsity and spectral properties of dual frames of a given finite frame. We show that any finite frame has a dual with no more than n2 non-vanishing entries, where n denotes the ambient dimension, and that for most frames no sparser dual is possible. Moreover, we derive an expression for the exact sparsity level of the sparsest dual for any given finite frame using a generalized notion...

With the increase of the complexity of automotive control, it is necessary to develop AEIICS (Automotive Electronic and Information Integrated Control System) for exchanging information between ECUs (Electronic Control Units) based on in-vehicle network technology. We named the parameter (or variable) contained in and transmitted by frame as signal. Period and deadline are basic temporal charac...
