Linear combinations of generators in multiplicatively invariant spaces

Multiplicatively invariant (MI) spaces are closed subspaces of $L^2(\Omega,\mathcal{H})$ that are invariant under multiplications of (some) functions in $L^{\infty}(\Omega)$. In this paper we work with MI spaces that are finitely generated. We prove that almost every linear combination of the generators of a finitely generated MI space produces a new set on generators for the same space and we give necessary and sufficient conditions on the linear combinations to preserve frame properties. We then apply what we prove for MI spaces to system of translates in the context of locally compact abelian groups and we obtain results that extend those previously proven for systems of integer translates in $L^2(\mathbb{R}^d)$.Comment: 13 pages.

Linear combinations of frame generators in systems of translates

A finitely generated shift invariant space $V$ is a closed subspace of $L^2(\R^d)$ that is generated by the integer translates of a finite number of functions. A set of frame generators for $V$ is a set of functions whose integer translates form a frame for $V$. In this note we give necessary and sufficient conditions in order that a minimal set of frame generators can be obtained by taking linear combinations of the given frame generators. Surprisingly the results are very different to the recently studied case when the property to be a frame is not required.Comment: 13 pages, To appear in J. Math. Anal. App

An Approximation Problem in Multiplicatively Invariant Spaces

Let $\mathcal{H}$ be Hilbert space and $(\Omega,\mu)$ a $\sigma$-finite measure space. Multiplicatively invariant (MI) spaces are closed subspaces of $L^2(\Omega, \mathcal{H})$ that are invariant under point-wise multiplication by functions in a fix subset of $L^{\infty}(\Omega).$ Given a finite set of data $\mathcal{F}\subseteq L^2(\Omega, \mathcal{H}),$ in this paper we prove the existence and construct an MI space $M$ that best fits $\mathcal{F}$, in the least squares sense. MI spaces are related to shift invariant (SI) spaces via a fiberization map, which allows us to solve an approximation problem for SI spaces in the context of locally compact abelian groups. On the other hand, we introduce the notion of decomposable MI spaces (MI spaces that can be decomposed into an orthogonal sum of MI subspaces) and solve the approximation problem for the class of these spaces. Since SI spaces having extra invariance are in one-to-one relation to decomposable MI spaces, we also solve our approximation problem for this class of SI spaces. Finally we prove that translation invariant spaces are in correspondence with totally decomposable MI spaces.Comment: 18 pages, To appear in Contemporary Mathematic

Shift-modulation invariant spaces on LCA groups

A $(K,\Lambda)$ shift-modulation invariant space is a subspace of $L^2(G)$, that is invariant by translations along elements in $K$ and modulations by elements in $\Lambda$. Here $G$ is a locally compact abelian group, and $K$ and $\Lambda$ are closed subgroups of $G$ and the dual group $\hat G$, respectively. In this article we provide a characterization of shift-modulation invariant spaces in this general context when $K$ and $\Lambda$ are uniform lattices. This extends previous results known for $L^2(\R^d)$. We develop fiberization techniques and suitable range functions adapted to LCA groups needed to provide the desired characterization.Comment: 17 page

Shift Invariant Spaces on LCA Groups

In this article we extend the theory of shift-invariant spaces to the context of LCA groups. We introduce the notion of H-invariant space for a countable discrete subgroup H of an LCA group G, and show that the concept of range function and the techniques of fiberization are valid in this context. As a consequence of this generalization we prove characterizations of frames and Riesz bases of these spaces extending previous results, that were known for Rd and the lattice Zd .Comment: 23 pages.
