Riesz sequence

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In mathematics, a sequence of vectors (xn) in a Hilbert space is called a Riesz sequence if there exist constants such that

for all sequences of scalars (an) in the p space2. A Riesz sequence is called a Riesz basis if

.

Alternatively, one can define the Riesz basis as a family of the form , where is an orthonormal basis for and is a bounded bijective operator. Hence, Riesz bases need not be orthonormal, i.e., they are a generalization of orthonormal bases.[1]

Paley-Wiener criterion

Let be an orthonormal basis for a Hilbert space and let be "close" to in the sense that

for some constant , , and arbitrary scalars . Then is a Riesz basis for .[2][3]

Perspective

If H is a finite-dimensional space, then every basis of H is a Riesz basis.

Let be in the Lp space L2(R), let

and let denote the Fourier transform of . Define constants c and C with . Then the following are equivalent:

The first of the above conditions is the definition for () to form a Riesz basis for the space it spans.

Kadec 1/4 Theorem

The Kadec 1/4 theorem, sometimes called the Kadets 1/4 theorem, provides a specific condition under which a sequence of complex exponentials forms a Riesz basis for the Lp space . It is a foundational result in the theory of non-harmonic Fourier series.

Let be a sequence of real numbers such that

Then the sequence of complex exponentials forms a Riesz basis for .[4]

This theorem demonstrates the stability of the standard orthonormal basis (up to normalization) under perturbations of the frequencies .

The constant 1/4 is sharp; if , the sequence may fail to be a Riesz basis, such as:[5]When are allowed to be complex, the theorem holds under the condition . Whether the constant is sharp is an open question.[5]
