Signed frames and Hadamard products of Gram matrices
by Shayne Waldron and Irine Peng
Abstract:
This paper concerns (redundant) representations in a Hilbert space $H$ of the form
$$ f = \sum_j c_j\inpro{f,\phi_j}\phi_j, \qquad \forall f\in H. $$
These are more general than those obtained from a tight frame,
and we develop a general theory based on what are called signed frames.
We are particularly interested in the cases where the scaling factors $c_j$
are unique and the geometric interpretation of negative $c_j$.
This is related to results about the invertibility of certain Hadamard products
of Gram matrices which are of independent interest, e.g., we show for almost every
$v_1,\ldots,v_n\in\CC^d$
$$ \rank([\inpro{v_i,v_j}^r\overline{\inpro{v_i,v_j}}^s]) =
\min\{{r+d-1\choose d-1}{s+d-1\choose d-1},n\}, \qquad r,s\ge0. $$
Applications include the construction of tight frames of bivariate Jacobi
polynomials on a triangle which preserve symmetries,
and numerical results and conjectures about the class of tight frames in a
finite dimensional space.
