Operator orbit frames and frame-like Fourier expansions (2409.10706v2)

Abstract: Frames in a Hilbert space that are generated by operator orbits are vastly studied because of the applications in dynamic sampling and signal recovery. We demonstrate in this paper a representation theory for frames generated by operator orbits that provides explicit constructions of the frame and the operator when the operators are not surjective. It is known that the Kaczmarz algorithm for stationary sequences in Hilbert spaces generates a frame that arises from an operator orbit where the operator is not surjective. In this paper, we show that every frame generated by a not surjective operator in any Hilbert space arises from the Kaczmarz algorithm. Furthermore, we show that the operators generating these frames are similar to rank one perturbations of unitary operators. After this, we describe a large class of operator orbit frames that arise from Fourier expansions for singular measures. Moreover, we classify all measures that possess frame-like Fourier expansions arising from two-sided operator orbit frames. Finally, we show that measures that possess frame-like Fourier expansions arising from two-sided operator orbits are weighted Lebesgue measure with weight satisfying a weak $A_{2}$ condition, even in the non-frame case. We also use these results to classify measures with other types of frame-like Fourier expansions.
