The insight gained from the analysis is used to address a somewhat dual question, namely, whether it is possible to remove redundancy from a sequence with the expansion property via small norm-perturbations; we prove that the answer is yes for frames $\\{g_k\\}_{k=1}^\\infty$ such that $g_k\\to 0$ as $k\\to \\infty,$ as well as for frames with finite excess. This particular question is motivated by recent progress in dynamical sampling.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-06-01T14:16:08.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "42C40" ], "keywords": [ "redundancy", "small norm-perturbations", "expansion property", "completion", "general basic sequences" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
