<strong>Introduction</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>Finite</strong> <strong>Frame</strong> <strong>Theory</strong> 25<br />

Reconstruction from coefficients with respect <strong>to</strong> an orthonormal basis was already<br />

discussed in Corollary 1. However, reconstruction from coefficients with respect <strong>to</strong><br />

a redundant system is much more delicate and requires the utilization of another<br />

frame, called dual frame. If computing such a dual frame is computationally <strong>to</strong>o<br />

complex, a circumvention of this problem is the so-called frame algorithm.<br />

5.1 Exact Reconstruction<br />

We start with stating an exact reconstruction formula.<br />

Theorem 8. Let (ϕ i ) M i=1 be a frame for H N with frame opera<strong>to</strong>r S. Then, for every<br />

x ∈ H N , we have<br />

x =<br />

M<br />

∑<br />

i=1<br />

〈x,ϕ i 〉S −1 ϕ i =<br />

M<br />

∑<br />

i=1<br />

〈x,S −1 ϕ i 〉ϕ i .<br />

Proof. This follows directly from the definition of the frame opera<strong>to</strong>r in Definition<br />

17 by writing x = S −1 Sx and x = SS −1 x. ⊓⊔<br />

Notice that the first formula can be interpreted as a reconstruction strategy,<br />

whereas the second formula has the flavor of a decomposition. We further observe<br />

that the sequence (S −1 ϕ i ) M i=1 plays a crucial role in the formulas in Theorem 8. The<br />

next result shows that this sequence indeed also constitutes a frame.<br />

Proposition 13. Let (ϕ i ) M i=1 be a frame for H N with frame bounds A and B and<br />

with frame opera<strong>to</strong>r S. Then the sequence (S −1 ϕ i ) M i=1 is a frame for H N with frame<br />

bounds B −1 and A −1 and with frame opera<strong>to</strong>r S −1 .<br />

Proof. By Proposition 10, the sequence (S −1 ϕ i ) M i=1 forms a frame for H N with<br />

associated frame opera<strong>to</strong>r S −1 S(S −1 ) ∗ = S −1 . This in turn yields the frame bounds<br />

B −1 and A −1 . ⊓⊔<br />

This new frame is called the canonical dual frame. In the sequel, we will discuss<br />

that also other dual frames may be utilized for reconstruction.<br />

Definition 19. Let (ϕ i ) M i=1 be a frame for H N with frame opera<strong>to</strong>r denoted by S.<br />

Then (S −1 ϕ i ) M i=1 is called the canonical dual frame for (ϕ i) M i=1 .<br />

The canonical dual frame of a Parseval frame is now easily determined by Proposition<br />

13.<br />

Corollary 7. Let (ϕ i ) M i=1 be a Parseval frame for H N . Then its canonical dual<br />

frame is the frame (ϕ i ) M i=1 itself, and the reconstruction formula in Theorem 8 reads<br />

x =<br />

M<br />

∑<br />

i=1<br />

〈x,ϕ i 〉ϕ i , x ∈ H N .
