Approximate oblique duality for fusion frames

Fusion frames are a convenient tool in applications where we deal with a large amount of data or when a combination of local data is needed. Oblique dual fusion frames are suitable in situations where the analysis for the data and its subsequent synthesis have to be implemented in different subspaces of a Hilbert space. These procedures of analysis and synthesis are in general not exact, and also there are circumstances where the exact dual is not available or it is necessary to improve its properties. To resolve these questions we introduce the concept of approximate oblique dual fusion frame, and in particular of approximate oblique dual fusion frame system. We study their properties. We give the relation to approximate oblique dual frames. We provide methods for obtaining them. We show how to construct other duals from a given one that give reconstructions errors as small as we want.

Approximate oblique dual frames

In representations using frames, oblique duality appears in situations where the analysis and the synthesis has to be done in different subspaces. In some cases, we cannot obtain an explicit expression for the oblique duals and in others there exists only one oblique dual frame which has not the properties we need. Also, in practice the computations are not exact. To give a solution to these problems, in this work we introduce and investigate the notion of approximate oblique dual frames first in the setting of separable Hilbert spaces. We present several properties and provide different characterizations of approximate oblique dual frames. We focus then on approximate oblique dual frames in shift-invariant subspaces of L^2(R)and g ive different conditions on the generators that assure their existence. The importance of approximate oblique dual frames from a numerical and computational point of view is illustrated with an example of frame sequences generated by B-splines, where the previous results are used to construct approximate oblique dual frames which have better attributes than the exact ones. We provide an expression for the approximation error and study its behaviour.

Balanced frames: a useful tool in signal processing with good properties

So far there has not been paid attention to frames that are balanced, i.e. those frames which sum is zero. In this paper we consider balanced frames, and in particular balanced unit norm tight frames, in finite dimensional Hilbert spaces. Here we discover various advantages of balanced unit norm tight frames in signal processing. They give an exact reconstruction in the presence of systematic errors in the transmitted coefficients, and are optimal when these coefficients are corrupted with noises that can have non-zero mean. Moreover, using balanced frames we can know that the transmitted coefficients were perturbed, and we also have an indication of the source of the error. We analyze several properties of these types of frames. We define an equivalence relation in the set of the dual frames of a balanced frame, and use it to show that we can obtain all the duals from the balanced ones. We study the problem of finding the nearest balanced frame to a given frame, characterizing completely its existence and giving its expression. We introduce and study a concept of complement for balanced frames. Finally, we present many examples and methods for constructing balanced unit norm tight frames.

Properties of finite dual fusion frames

A new notion of dual fusion frame has been recently introduced by the authors. In this article that notion is further motivated and it is shown that it is suitable to deal with questions posed in a finite-dimensional real or complex Hilbert space, reinforcing the idea that this concept of duality solves the question about an appropriate definition of dual fusion frames. It is shown that for overcomplete fusion frames there always exist duals different from the canonical one. Conditions that assure the uniqueness of duals are given. The relation of dual fusion frame systems with dual frames and dual projective reconstruction systems is established. Optimal dual fusion frames for the reconstruction in case of erasures of subspaces, and optimal dual fusion frame systems for the reconstruction in case of erasures of local frame vectors are determined. Examples that illustrate the obtained results are exhibited.

Oblique dual Fusion Frames

We introduce and develop the concept of oblique duality for fusion frames. This concept provides a mathematical framework to deal with problems in distributed signal processing where the signals, considered as elements in a Hilbert space and under certain consistency requirements, are analyzed in one subspace and are reconstructed in another subspace.

On the minimizers of the fusion frame potential

We study the minimizers of the fusion frame potential in the case that both the weights and the dimensions of the subspaces are fixed and not necessarily equal. Using a concept of irregularity we provide a description of the local (that are also global) minimizers which projections are eigenoperators of the fusion frame operator. This result will be related to the existence of tight fusion frames. In this way we generalize results known for the classical vector frame potential.
