Description
Abstract:Finite frames are special collections of vectors utilized in Harmonic Analysis and Digital Signal Processing. In this thesis, geometric aspects and construction techniques are considered for the family of k-vector frames in Fn = Rn or Cn sharing a fixed frame operator (denoted Fk(E, Fn), where E is the Hermitian positive definite frame operator), and also the subfamily of this family obtained by fixing a list of vector lengths (denoted Fk æ(E, Fn), where ℗æ is the list of lengths). The family Fk(E, Fn) is shown to be diffeomorphic to the Stiefel manifold Vn(Fk), and Fk ℗æ(E, Fn) is shown to be a smooth manifold if the list of vector lengths ℗æ satisfy certain conditions. Calculations for the dimensions of these manifolds are also performed. Finally, a new construction technique is detailed for frames in Fk(E, Fn) and Fk ℗æ(E, Fn).
