Two parameterizations of oblique duals of a given frame sequence are applied to show that the sum of a frame sequence and one of its oblique duals may not be a frame sequence, and that type II dual is locally (and globally) optimal in some sense and that the excesses of the frame sequence and its oblique duals are the same. Other observations on the duals of a frame sequence are included also.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
