Narrow Results

We consider Gabor systems with compactly supported windows and rational sampling rate. Two modification techniques for tight frame Gabor windows, splitting for shorter support and smoothing for better smoothness, are introduced. As an illustration of such techniques, we construct multiwindow tight frame Gabor windows with smaller support and C^∞ continuity from certain tight frame Gabor windows.

The theory of Gabor frames has been extensively investigated. This paper addresses partial Gabor systems. We introduce the concepts of partial Gabor system, frame and dual frame. We present some conditions for a partial Gabor system to be a partial Gabor frame, and using these conditions, we characterize partial dual frames. We also give some examples. It is noteworthy that the density theorem does not hold for general partial Gabor systems.
