The Dual Frame
The frame condition is both sufficient and necessary for allowing the construction of a dual or conjugate frame, relative the original frame, . The duality of this frame implies that
is satisfied for all . In order to construct the dual frame, we first need the linear mapping: defined as
From this definition of and linearity in the first argument of the inner product, it now follows that
which can be inserted into the frame condition to get
The properties of can be summarised as follows:
- is self-adjoint, positive definite, and has positive upper and lower bounds. This leads to
- the inverse of exists and it, too, is self-adjoint, positive definite, and has positive upper and lower bounds.
The dual frame is defined by mapping each element of the frame with :
To see that this make sense, let be arbitrary and set
It is then the case that
which proves that
Alternatively, we can set
By inserting the above definition of and applying known properties of and its inverse, we get
which shows that
This derivation of the dual frame is a summary of section 3 in the article by Duffin and Schaeffer. They use the term conjugate frame for what here is called dual frame.

Famous quotes containing the words dual and/or frame:
“Thee for my recitative,
Thee in the driving storm even as now, the snow, the winter-day
declining,
Thee in thy panoply, thy measurd dual throbbing and thy beat
convulsive,
Thy black cylindric body, golden brass and silvery steel,”
—Walt Whitman (18191892)
“she drew back a while,
Then, yielding to the irresistible joy,
With frantic gesture and short breathless cry
Folded his frame in her dissolving arms.
Now blackness veiled his dizzy eyes, and night
Involved and swallowed up the vision; sleep,
Like a dark flood suspended in its course,
Rolled back its impulse on his vacant brain.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (17921822)
