Abstract

For multi-variable finite measure spaces, we present in this paper a new framework for non-orthogonal L2L^2 Fourier expansions. Our results hold for probability measures μ\mu with finite support in Rd\mathbb{R}^d that satisfy a certain disintegration condition that we refer to as ``slice-singular''. In this general framework, we present explicit L2(μ)L^{2}(\mu)-Fourier expansions, with Fourier exponentials having positive Fourier frequencies in each of the d coordinates. Our Fourier representations apply to every fL2(μ)f \in L^2(\mu), are based on an extended Kaczmarz algorithm, and use a new recursive μ\mu Rokhlin disintegration representation. In detail, our Fourier series expansion for ff is in terms of the multivariate Fourier exponentials {en}\{e_n\}, but the associated Fourier coefficients for ff are now computed from a Kaczmarz system {gn}\{g_n\} in L2(μ)L^{2}(\mu) which is dual to the Fourier exponentials. The {gn}\{g_n\} system is shown to be a Parseval frame for L2(μ)L^{2}(\mu). Explicit computations for our new Fourier expansions entail a detailed analysis of subspaces of the Hardy space on the polydisk, dual to L2(μ)L^{2}(\mu), and an associated d-variable Normalized Cauchy Transform. Our results extend earlier work for measures μ\mu in one and two dimensions, i.e., d=1(μd=1 (\mu singular), and d=2(μd=2 (\mu assumed slice-singular). Here our focus is the extension to the cases of measures μ\mu in dimensions d>2d >2. Our results are illustrated with the use of explicit iterated function systems (IFSs), including the IFS generated Menger sponge for d=3d=3.
