We answer a number of open problems in frame theory concerning the decomposition of frames into linearly independent and/or spanning sets. We prove that Parseval frames with norms bounded away from 1 can be decomposed into a number of sets whose complements are spanning, where the number of these sets only depends on the norm bound. Further, we prove a stronger result for Parseval frames whose ...

We develop a natural generalization of vector-valued frame theory, which we term operator-valued frame theory, using operator-algebraic methods. This extends work of the second author and D. Han which can be viewed as the multiplicity one case and extends to higher multiplicity their dilation approach. We prove several results for operator-valued frames concerning duality, disjointedness, compl...

We study invertibility and compactness of positive Toeplitz operators associated to a continuous Parseval frame on Hilbert space. As applications, we characterize affine Weyl-Heisenberg localization as well give uncertainty principles for the transforms.

The present paper for the first time constructs a frame/dual frame pair of shearlet type such that both frames possess the distinctive time-frequency localization properties needed in establishing their desirable approximation properties. Our construction is based on a careful pasting together of two bandlimited shearlet Parseval frames associated with two different frequency cones, inspired by...

for all x∈H . When A = B the frame is said to be tight and if in addition, A = B = 1 it is termed a Parseval frame. When F = { fi}i=1 is a frame, we shall abuse notations and denote by F again, the n×M matrix whose ith column is fi, and where n is the dimension of H . Using this notation, the frame operator is the n×n matrix S=FF∗ where F∗ is the adjoint of F . It is a folklore to note that F i...

Hilbert space frame theory has applications to various areas of pure mathematics, applied mathematics, and engineering. However, the question of how applying an invertible operator to a frame changes its properties has not yet been satisfactorily answered, and only partial results are known to date. In this paper, we will provide a comprehensive study of those questions, and, in particular, pro...
