Intrinsic Localization of Anisotropic Frames II: $\alpha$-Molecules

by P. Grohs and S. Vigogna

(Report number 2014-10)

Abstract
This article is a continuation of the recent paper [Grohs, Intrinsic localization of anisotropic frames, ACHA, 2013] by the first author, where off-diagonal-decay properties (often referred to as 'localization' in the literature) of Moore-Penrose pseudoinverses of (bi-infinite) matrices are established, whenever the latter possess similar off-diagonal-decay properties. This problem is especially interesting if the matrix arises as a discretization of an operator with respect to a frame or basis. Previous work on this problem has been restricted to wavelet- or Gabor frames. In the aforementioned work we extended these results to frames of parabolic molecules, including curvelets or shearlets as special cases. The present paper extends and unifies these results by establishing analogous properties for frames of \(\alpha\)-molecules as introduced in recent work [Grohs, Keiper, Kutyniok, Schäfer, Alpha molecules: curvelets, shearlets, ridgelets, and beyond, Proc. SPIE. 8858, 2013]. Since wavelets, curvelets, shearlets, ridgelets and hybrid shearlets all constitute instances of \(\alpha\)-molecules, our results establish localization properties for all these systems simultaneously.

Keywords: Frame Localization, Curvelets, Shearlets, Ridgelets, Wavelets, nonlinear Approximation.
