TL;DR
The paper addresses constructing Parseval fusion frames by scaling weights, extending the notion of scalability to the fusion-frame setting. It develops a comprehensive framework linking weight-scaling to operator equations, provides necessary and sufficient conditions for weight-scalability of fusion Riesz bases, 1-excess, and certain $k$-excess fusion frames, and furnishes concrete examples to illustrate when scalability is possible or impossible. The results offer a systematic method to obtain Parseval fusion frames without altering subspaces, enabling straightforward reconstruction and resilience in signal-processing applications. This framework enhances design guidelines for fusion-frame-based sensing and processing by clarifying when and how weight-scaling can yield Parseval frames while preserving subspace structure.
Abstract
The construction of Parseval fusion frames is highly desirable in a wide range of signal processing applications. In this paper, we study the problem of modifying the weights of a fusion frame in order to generate a Parseval fusion frame. To this end, we extend the notion of the scalability to the fusion frame setting. We then proceed to characterize scalable fusion Riesz bases and $1$-excess fusion frames. Furthermore, we provide the necessary and sufficient conditions for the scalability of certain $k$-excess fusion frames, $k\geq 2$. Finally, we present several pertinent examples to confirm the obtained results.
