For a fusion Banach frame ({Gn, vn}, S) for a Banach space E, if ({v∗ n(E), v∗ n}, T ) is a fusion Banach frame for E∗, then ({Gn, vn}, S; {v∗ n(E), v∗ n}, T ) is called a fusion bi-Banach frame for E. It is proved that if E has an atomic decomposition, then E also has a fusion bi-Banach frame. Also, a sufficient condition for the existence of a fusion bi-Banach frame is given. Finally, a chara...

Fusion frames have become a major tool in the implementation of distributed systems. The effectiveness of fusion frame applications in distributed systems is reflected in the efficiency of the end fusion process. This in turn is reflected in the efficiency of the inversion of the fusion frame operator SW , which in turn is heavily dependent on the sparsity of SW . We will show that sparsity of ...

We consider estimating a random vector from its measurements in a fusion frame, in presence of noise and subspace erasures. A fusion frame is a collection of subspaces, for which the sum of the projection operators onto the subspaces is bounded below and above by constant multiples of the identity operator. We first consider the linear minimum mean-squared error (LMMSE) estimation of the random...

In this paper we study the fusion frame potential, that is a generalization of the BenedettoFickus (vectorial) frame potential to the finite-dimensional fusion frame setting. The structure of local and global minimizers of this potential is studied, when we restrict the frame potential to suitable sets of fusion frames. These minimizers are related to tight fusion frames as in the classical vec...

Spectral tetris is a flexible and elementary method to derive unit norm frames with a given frame operator having all of its eigenvalues ≥ 2. One important application of this method is to construct fusion frames. We will give necessary and sufficient conditions for a spectral tetris construction to give a fusion frame with prescribed eigenvalues for its fusion frame operator and with prescribe...

In this paper we study the fusion frame potential, that is a generalization of the BenedettoFickus (vectorial) frame potential to the finite-dimensional fusion frame setting. Local and global minimizers of this potential are studied, when we restrict it to a suitable set of fusion frames. These minimizers are related to tight fusion frames as in the classical vector frame case. Still, tight fus...

background: sequence variations in glycoproteins of influenza virus surface impel us to design new candidate vaccines yearly. ectodomain of influenza m2 protein is a surface and highly conserved protein. m2e in influenza vaccines may eliminate the need for changing vaccine formulation every year. objectives: in this study, a recombinant baculovirus containing m2e and cholera toxin subunit b fus...

In this paper, we study approximate duals of $g$-frames and fusion frames in Hilbert $C^ast-$modules. We get some relations between approximate duals of $g$-frames and biorthogonal Bessel sequences, and using these relations, some results for approximate duals of modular Riesz bases and fusion frames are obtained. Moreover, we generalize the concept of $Q-$approximate duality of $g$-frames and ...
