On the lower Riesz basis bound of exponential systems over an interval
Thibaud Alemany, Shahaf Nitzan
TL;DR
This work analyzes the lower Riesz basis bound A(Λ) for exponential systems on an interval by revisiting Pavlov's characterization and linking Riesz-basis properties to the boundedness of the Riesz projection in weighted L^2 spaces. It develops three complementary frameworks—generating functions, phase functions, and counting functions—to derive explicit, quantitatively sharp lower bounds for A(Λ) in terms of the separation δ(Λ) and associated weight norms, improving previously known estimates. The results yield exponential-in-y bounds in Avdonin-type settings and extend to sine-type zero sets via the Levin–Golovin theory, with concrete implications for perturbations of the integers and MZ families. By connecting these bounds to model spaces, Riesz projections, and A_2 weight theory, the paper both unifies and strengthens the toolkit for analyzing Riesz bases of exponentials on intervals. The findings have potential impact on stability analyses in Fourier-analytic sampling, signal processing, and related harmonic-analytic applications.
Abstract
We revisit Pavlov's characterization for Riesz bases of exponentials and study the corresponding lower Riesz basis bounds. In particular, this approach allows us to improve on known estimates for the bounds in Avdonin's theorem regarding average perturbations, and Levin's theorem regarding zeroes of sine-type functions.
