Isometric tight frames

Robert Reams and Shayne Waldron


Abstract:

We construct a $d\times n$ matrix, $n\ge d$, whose
columns have equal length and whose rows are orthonormal. This is
equivalent to finding an isometric tight frame of $n$ vectors in $\Rd$
(or $\Cd$),
or writing the $d\times d$ identity matrix $I={d\over n}\sum_{i=1}^n P_i$,
where the $P_i$ are rank $1$ orthogonal projections.


Keywords: Isometric tight frame, normalised tight frame, uniform tight frame
