For a generator of a Riesz basis, this localisation is described by the classical Balian-Low theorem. We establish Balian-Low type theorems for complete and minimal Gabor systems with a frame-type approximation property. These results describe how the best possible localisation of a generator is limited by the degree of control over the coefficients in approximations given by the system, and provide a continuous transition between the classical Balian-Low conditions and the corresponding conditions for generators of complete and minimal systems. Moreover, this holds for the non-symmetric generalisations of these theorems as well.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2010-01-20T09:46:36.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "42C15", "42A38", "46E35" ], "keywords": [ "riesz bases", "exact systems", "establish balian-low type theorems", "lattice gabor systems", "localisation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0906.2302N" } } }
