The invertibility of U-fusion cross Gram matrices of operators

Abstract: For applications like the numerical solution of physical equations a discretization scheme for operators is necessary. Recently frames have been used for such an operator representation. In this paper, we apply fusion frames for this task. We interpret the operator representation using fusion frames as a generalization of fusion Gram matrices. We present the basic definition of $U$-fusion cross Gram matrices of operators for a bounded operator $U$. We give sufficient conditions for their (pseudo-)invertibility and present explicit formulas for the inverse. In particular, we characterize fusion Riesz bases and fusion orthonormal bases by such matrices. Finally, we look at which perturbations of fusion Bessel sequences preserve the invertibility of the fusion Gram matrix of operators.
