One of the most powerful approaches to imaging at the nanometer or subnanometer length scale is coherent diffraction imaging using X-ray sources. For amorphous (non-crystalline) samples, the raw data can be interpreted as the modulus of the…

Let $g\in L^2(\mathbb{R})$ be a strictly decreasing continuous function supported on $\mathbb{R}_+$ such that for all $t > 0$ we have $g(x+t)\le q(t)g(x)$ for some $q(t)<1$. We prove that the Gabor system…

Nonstationary Gabor frames, recently introduced in adaptive signal analysis, represent a natural generalization of classical Gabor frames by allowing for adaptivity of windows and lattice in either time or frequency. Due to the lack of a…
