Quantitative bounds for unconditional pairs of frames

Abstract

We formulate a quantitative finite-dimensional conjecture about frame multipliers and prove that it is equivalent to Conjecture 1 in [22]. We then present solutions to the conjecture for certain classes of frame multipliers. In particular, we prove that for all C>0 and N∈N the following is true: Let (xj)j=1N and (fj)j=1N be sequences in a finite dimensional Hilbert space which satisfy ‖xj‖=‖fj‖ for all 1≤j≤N and‖∑j=1Nεj〈x,fj〉xj‖≤C‖x‖,for all x∈ℓ2M and |εj|=1. If the frame operator for (fj)j=1N has eigenvalues λ1≥...≥λM and β>0 is such that λ1≤βM−1∑j=1Mλj then (fj)j=1N has Bessel bound 27β2C. The same holds for (xj)j=1N.
