OBJECTIVES We assessed the comparability of self-reported smoking prevalence estimates from a dual-frame survey with those from two large-scale, national surveys. METHODS The Social Climate Survey of Tobacco Control (SCS-TC) obtained self-reported current smoking status via a dual-frame methodology in the fall of 2010. One frame used random digit dialling procedures and consisted of household...

We design alternative dual frames for linearly reconstructing signals from Sigma-Delta (Σ∆) quantized finite frame coefficients. In the setting of sampling expansions for bandlimited functions, it is known that a stable rth order Sigma-Delta quantizer produces approximations where the approximation error is at most of order 1/λ , and λ > 1 is the oversampling ratio. We show that the counterpart...

Weighted and controlled frames have been introduced recently to improve the numerical efficiency of iterative algorithms for inverting the frame operator. In this paper we develop systematically these notions, including their mutual relationship. We will show that controlled frames are equivalent to standard frames and so this concept gives a generalized way to check the frame condition, while ...

This work presents a quantitative framework for describing the overcompleteness of a large class of frames. It introduces notions of localization and approximation between two frames F = {fi}i∈I and E = {ej}j∈G (G a discrete abelian group), relating the decay of the expansion of the elements of F in terms of the elements of E via a map a : I → G. A fundamental set of equalities are shown betwee...

In J. T. Wilson’s doctoral dissertation, the author takes up the subject of free meets, that is, subsets S of a frame L whose meet V S is preserved by a designated class of frame homomorphisms out of L. Wilson proves that all subsets of L have free meets if and only if the dual frame law holds in L and the assembly NL is a boolean frame. In this paper it is shown that for algebraic frames L wit...

Abstract. Certain facts about frames and generalized frames (g- frames) are extended for the g-frames for Hilbert C*-modules. It is shown that g-frames for Hilbert C*-modules share several useful properties with those for Hilbert spaces. The paper also character- izes the operators which preserve the class of g-frames for Hilbert C*-modules. Moreover, a necessary and suffcient condition is ob- ...

This article presents an analytic approach to study admissibility conditions related to classical full wavelet systems over finite fields using tools from computational harmonic analysis and theoretical linear algebra. It is shown that for a large class of non-zero window signals (wavelets), the generated classical full wavelet systems constitute a frame whose canonical dual are classical full ...
