It is known that it is a very restrictive condition for a frame $\{f_k\}_{k=1}^\infty$ to have a representation $ \{T^n \varphi\}_{n=0}^\infty$ as the orbit of a bounded operator $T$ under a single generator $\varphi\in\mathcal{H}.$ In this…

We derive an extension of the Walnut-Daubechies criterion for the invertibility of frame operators. The criterion concerns general reproducing systems and Besov-type spaces. As an application, we conclude that $L^2$ frame expansions…

Let $S\in\mathcal{M}_d(\mathbb{C})^+$ be a positive semidefinite $d\times d$ complex matrix and let $\mathbf a=(a_i)_{i\in\mathbb{I}_k}\in \mathbb{R}_{>0}^k$, indexed by $\mathbb{I}_k=\{1,\ldots,k\}$, be a $k$-tuple of positive numbers. Let…

We study the trace set of the commutator subgroup of $\Gamma(2),$ a type of Local-Global problem about thin groups. We determine the local obstructions and then use the correspondence between binary quadratic forms and hyperbolic matrices…

(Original version of PhD thesis, submitted in Spring 2009 to Harvard University. Provides a solution of the $p > k^2$ case, corresponding to Berge families I-VI, of the "Lens space realization problem" later solved in entirety by Greene.)…

Given a lattice $\Lambda$ in a locally compact abelian group $G$ and a measurable subset $\Omega$ with finite and positive measure, then the set of characters associated to the dual lattice form a frame for $L^2(\Omega)$ if and only if the…

A frame in an $n$-dimensional Hilbert space $H_n$ is a possibly redundant collection of vectors $\{f_i\}_{i\in I}$ that span the space. A tight frame is a generalization of an orthonormal basis. A frame $\{f_i\}_{i\in I}$ is said to be…

We introduce the class of interval $H$-graphs, which is the generalization of interval graphs, particularly interval bigraphs. For a fixed graph $H$ with vertices $a_1,a_2,\dots,a_k$, we say that an input graph $G$ with given partition…

We locate gaps in the spectrum of a Hamiltonian on a periodic cuboidal (and generally hyperrectangular) lattice graph with $\delta$ couplings in the vertices. We formulate sufficient conditions under which the number of gaps is finite. As…

Katugampola's 2015 study of generalized fractional differential operators produced triangular arrays of integer coefficients indexed by a fractional order r and by dimensions n and k, but no combinatorial interpretation has been established…

We consider Gabor Riesz sequences generated by a lattice $\Lambda \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ and a window function $g \in L^2(\mathbb{R})$ which is well localized in both time and frequency. When $g$ belongs to the Feichtinger algebra, we prove…

For an undirected graph G, we consider the following problems: given a fixed graph H, can we partition the vertices of G into two non-empty sets A and B such that neither the induced graph G[A] nor G[B] contain H (i) as a subgraph? (ii) as…

We discuss whether one should expect that multiply imaged QSOs can be understood with `simple' lens models which contain a handful of parameters. Whereas for many lens systems such simple mass models yield a remarkably good description of…

We show that a sufficient density condition for Gabor systems with Hermite functions over lattices is not sufficient in general. This follows from a result on how zeros of the Zak transform determine the frame property of integer…

Gabardo and Nashed have studied nonuniform wavelets based on the theory of spectral pairs for which the associated translation set $\Lambda =\left\{ 0,r/N\right\}+2\,\mathbb Z$ is no longer a discrete subgroup of $\mathbb R$ but a spectrum…

We consider Gabor localization operators $G_{\phi,\Omega}$ defined by two parameters, the generating function $\phi$ of a tight Gabor frame $\{\phi_\lambda\}_{\lambda \in \Lambda}$, parametrized by the elements of a given lattice $\Lambda…

A Keller map is a counterexample to the Jacobian Conjecture. In dimension two every such map, if exists, leads to a complicated set of conditions on the map between the Picard groups of suitable compactifications of the affine plane. This…

We consider the problem whether for a group G there exists a constant Lambda(G) > 1 such that for any (r,s)-matrix A over the integral group ring ZG the Fuglede-Kadison determinant of the G-equivariant bounded operator from L^2(G)^r to…

We investigate Gabor frames on locally compact abelian groups with time-frequency shifts along non-separable, closed subgroups of the phase space. Density theorems in Gabor analysis state necessary conditions for a Gabor system to be a…

In this paper we show how to construct a certain class of orthonormal bases in $L^2({\bf R}^d)$ starting from one or more Gabor orthonormal bases in $L^2({\bf R})$. Each such basis can be obtained acting on a single function…
