Families of spectral sets for Bernoulli convolutions

In this paper, we study the harmonic analysis of Bernoulli measures. We show a variety of orthonormal Fourier bases for the L^2 Hilbert spaces corresponding to certain Bernoulli measures, making use of contractive transfer operators. For other cases, we exhibit maximal Fourier families that are not orthonormal bases.Comment: 25 pages, same result

Additive spectra of the 1/4 Cantor measure

In this paper, we add to the characterization of the Fourier spectra for Bernoulli convolution measures. These measures are supported on Cantor subsets of the line. We prove that performing an odd additive translation to half the canonical spectrum for the 1/4 Cantor measure always yields an alternate spectrum. We call this set an additive spectrum. The proof works by connecting the additive set to a spectrum formed by odd multiplicative scaling.Comment: 9 pages, 1 figur

Scaling by 5 on a 1/4-Cantor Measure

Each Cantor measure (\mu) with scaling factor 1/(2n) has at least one associated orthonormal basis of exponential functions (ONB) for L^2(\mu). In the particular case where the scaling constant for the Cantor measure is 1/4 and two specific ONBs are selected for L^2(\mu), there is a unitary operator U defined by mapping one ONB to the other. This paper focuses on the case in which one ONB (\Gamma) is the original Jorgensen-Pedersen ONB for the Cantor measure (\mu) and the other ONB is is 5\Gamma. The main theorem of the paper states that the corresponding operator U is ergodic in the sense that only the constant functions are fixed by U.Comment: 34 page

Harmonic analysis of iterated function systems with overlap

In this paper we extend previous work on IFSs without overlap. Our method involves systems of operators generalizing the more familiar Cuntz relations from operator algebra theory, and from subband filter operators in signal processing.Comment: 37 page

Convolutional Frames and the Frame Potential

The recently introduced notion of frame potential has proven useful for the characterization of finite-dimensional tight frames. The present work represents an effort to similarly characterize finite-dimensional tight frames with additional imposed structure. In particular, it is shown that the frame potential still leads to a complete description of tight frames when restricted to the class of translation-invariant systems. It is natural to refer to such frames as convolutional because of the correspondence between translation-invariant systems and finite-dimensional filter banks. The fast algorithms associated with convolution represent one possible advantage over nonconvolutional frames in applications.Abstract © Elsevie
