Block-equivalent finite Gabor frames
Abstract
We study finite systems of vectors whose frame operator matrices are unitarily equivalent, via explicit and computationally efficient unitary transformations, to block-diagonal matrices. We call such systems block-equivalent. We show that a Gabor system π’=π’(g,LΓ K)β βN is block-equivalent when either the modulation set L or the translation set K is a subgroup of β€N. We also characterize situations in which the frame operator matrix becomes diagonal. Finally, we show that geometric conditions on subsets of β€N force certain diagonals of the frame operator matrix of π’ to vanish, yielding additional sparsity and block structures.

We call such systems block-equivalent. We show that a Gabor system π’=π’(g,LΓ K)β β^N is block-equivalent when either the modulation set L or the translation set K is a subgroup of β€_N.
