K-frame theory was recently introduced to reconstruct elements from the range of a bounded linear operator K in a separable Hilbert space. This significant property is worthwhile
espe-cially in some problems arising in sampling theory. Some equalities and inequalities have been
established for ordinary frames and their duals. In this paper, we continue and extend these
re-sults to obtain several important equalities and inequalities forK-frames. Moreover, by applying
Jensen’s operator inequality we obtain some new inequalities forK-frames.
Key words : Frames;K-frames; ParsevalK-frames;K-duals, Jensen’s operator inequality.
1. INTRODUCTION ANDPRELIMINARIES
Frames are redundant systems in separable Hilbert spaces, which provide non-unique representations
of vectors and are applied in a wide range of applications [4-7]. Working on efficient algorithms
for computing reconstruction of signals without noisy phase, Balan et al. [3] discover some new
identities for Parseval frames. Then, these identities have been generalized by some researchers for
the alternate dual frames and other types of frames [2, 11, 18, 19].
Recently, K-frames were introduced by G˘avrut¸a [13] to study atomic systems with respect to a
bounded operatorK ∈B(H). Recall that atomic decomposition for a closed subspaceH0of a Hilbert
spaceHintroduced by Feichtinger et al. [10] with frame-like properties. Although, the sequences
in atomic decompositions do not necessarily belong to H0. This interesting property, which was
problems in sampling theory [15, 16]. In this work, we extend and improve these results to obtain
some equalities and inequalities forK-frames. First, we are going to state some preliminaries of
K-frames and their duals, which are used in our main results. LetHbe a separable Hilbert space and
I a countable index set andK ∈B(H). A sequenceF := {fi}i∈I ⊆ His called aK-frame forH,
if there exist constantsA, B >0such that
AkK∗fk2 ≤X
i∈I
|hf, fii|2≤Bkfk2, (f ∈ H). (1.1)
Obviously, F is an ordinary frame if K = IH and so K-frames are a generalization of the
ordinary frames [7, 8, 13]. The constantsAandBin (1.1) are called the lower and the upper bounds
ofF, respectively. AK-frameF is called a ParsevalK-frame, wheneverPi∈I|hf, fii|2 =kK∗fk2.
Since F is a Bessel sequence, similar to ordinary frames the synthesis operator can be defined as
TF : l2 → H; TF({ci}i∈I) = P
i∈Icifi. The operator TF is bounded and its adjoint which is called the analysis operator is given byTF∗(f) = {hf, fii}i∈I, and the frame operator is given by
SF : H → H; SFf = TFTF∗f = P
i∈Ihf, fiifi. Unlike ordinary frames, the frame operator of aK-frame is not invertible in general. However, ifK has closed range, thenSF fromR(K) onto
SF(R(K))is an invertible operator [17].
In [1], the notion of duality forK-frames is introduced and several approaches for construction
and characterization ofK-frames and their dual are presented. Indeed, a Bessel sequence{gi}i∈I ⊆
His called aK-dual of{fi}i∈Iif
Kf =X
i∈I
hf, giifi, (f ∈ H). (1.2)
Theorem 1.1 — (Douglas [9]). LetL1 ∈ B(H1,H) andL2 ∈ B(H2,H) be bounded linear
mappings on given Hilbert spaces. Then the following assertions are equivalent:
(i) R(L1)⊆R(L2);
(ii) L1L∗1≤λ2L2L∗2, for someλ >0;
(iii) There exists a bounded linear mappingX∈B(H1,H2), such thatL1 =L2X.
Moreover, if (i), (ii) and (iii) are valid, then there exists a unique operatorXso thatL1 =L2X
and
(a) kXk2 = inf{α >0, L1L∗1 ≤αL2L∗2};
(c) R(X)⊂R(L∗2).
Remark 1.2 : Suppose F = {fi}i∈I is a K-frame for H with the optimal bounds A and B,
respectively. ClearlyB=kSFk. Also, the lower inequality (1.1) implies that
AKK∗≤SF =TFTF∗.
Hence, by taking L1 = K andL2 = TF in Douglas’ theorem, it follows that there exists an
operatorX ∈B(H, l2)such that
TFX=K, (1.3)
and{X∗δi}i∈I is a K-dual ofF, where {δi}i∈I is the standard orthonormal basis of l2, see [13].
Moreover, by Douglas’ theorem the equation (1.3) has a unique solution asXF such that
kXFk2 = inf{α >0, KK∗ ≤αTFTF∗}. (1.4)
Now, letAbe the optimal lower bound ofF. Then, we obtain
A = sup{α >0 : αKK∗f ≤TFTF∗}
= (inf{β >0 : KK∗ ≤βTFTF∗})−1
= kXFk−2,
which coincides with ordinary frames. Indeed, ifK = IH, we easily obtainXF = TF∗SF−1 and so
kXFk−2 =kT∗
FSFk−2 =kSF−1k−1.
For further information inK-frame theory we refer the reader to [1, 10, 13, 17]. Throughout this
paper, we supposeHis a separable Hilbert space,K†the pseudo inverse of operatorK,Ia countable
index set and for everyJ ⊂ I, we denote the complement ofJ byJc. AlsoIHdenotes the identity
operator onH. For two Hilbert spacesH1 andH2 we denote byB(H1,H2)the set of all bounded
linear operators between H1 and H2, and we abbreviate B(H,H) by B(H). Also we denote the
range ofK∈B(H)byR(K), and the orthogonal projection ofHonto a closed subspaceV ofHby
πV. Finally, we use ofTJ andSJ to denote the synthesis operator and frame operator, whenever the
index set is limited toJ ⊂I.
2. MAINRESULTS
In this section we obtain several equalities and inequalities forK-frames,K-duals and ParsevalK
Theorem 2.1 — LetF = {fi}i∈I be aK-frame forHand{gi}i∈I be aK-dual ofF. Then for
everyJ ⊆I andf ∈ H, Ã

PROOF: Suppose thatJ ⊆I, and consider the operator
MJf = X
i∈J
hf, giifi, (f ∈ H).
One can easily show thatMJ is a well defined and bounded operator onH. Moreover, we have
MJ +MJc =K. Hence, Ã

Using Theorem 2.1 we immediately obtain the following corollary.
Corollary 2.2 — LetF ={fi}i∈I be aK-frame with aK-dual{gi}i∈I. Then for everyJ ⊆I
andf ∈ H,
hTJ{(XFf)i}i∈J, Kfi − kTJ{(XFf)i}i∈Jk2
= hTJc{(XFf)i}i∈Jc, Kfi − kTJc{(XFf)i}i∈Jck2,
whereXF is as in (1.4).
Theorem 2.3 — LetF = {fi}i∈I be aK-frame forHand{gi}i∈I be aK-dual ofF. Then for
every bounded sequence{αi}i∈Iandf ∈ H, Ã

(1−αi)hf, giifi
In the sequel, we survey some inequalities on ParsevalK-frames. These results also extend some
important inequalities for frames in [2, 11].
Theorem 2.4 — Assume thatF ={fi}i∈Iis a ParsevalK-frame forH. For everyf ∈ H,J ⊆I
andE ⊆Jcwe have

PROOF: For the subsetJ ofI, we denote bySJ the operator defined bySJf = P
i∈Jhf, fiifi. Hence we haveSJ +SJc =KK∗. HenceSJ2−SJ2c =KK∗SJ −SJcKK∗. In fact
SJ2−S2Jc = SJ2−(KK∗−SJ)2
= KK∗SJ+SJKK∗−(KK∗)2
= KK∗SJ−(KK∗−SJ)KK∗
= KK∗SJ−SJcKK∗.
Hence, for everyf ∈ Hwe obtain
kSJfk2− kSJcfk2 =hKK∗SJf, fi − hSJcKK∗f, fi,

and consequently
KK∗SJ+SJ2c+ (KK∗SJ+S2Jc)∗

= KK∗(SJ+SJc) +SJ2+SJ2c
= (SJ+SJc)KK∗+SJ2+SJ2c ≥ 3 2(KK

Thus, we obtain

This completes the proof. 2
Notice that, in Theorem 2.5 if we takeK =IHit reduce to Theorem 2.2 [19]. Also, Theorem 2.5
leads to the following concept, which is a generalization of [11] for Parseval frames. LetF ={fi}i∈I
be a ParsevalK-frame. Then we consider
v+(F, K, J) = sup f6=0
Re³Pi∈Jchf, fiihKK∗f, fii ´
+°°Pi∈Jhf, fiifi°°2
kKK∗fk2 ,
v−(F, K, J) = inf f6=0
Re³Pi∈Jchf, fiihKK∗f, fii ´
+°°Pi∈Jhf, fiifi°°2
Now, we are going to present some properties of these notations. For this we need the next lemma.
Lemma 2.6 — LetK be a closed range operator andF ={fi}i∈Ibe aK-frame forH. Then
(i) °°Pi∈Ihf, fiifi ° °2 ≤ kS
Fk P
i∈I|hf, fii|2, (f ∈ H);
(ii) Pi∈I|hf, fii|2 ≤ kK†k2kXFk2 ° °P
i∈Ihf, fiifi °
°2, (f ∈ R(K)), whereX
F is as in equa-tion (1.1).
PROOF : The first part is a known result for every Bessel sequence [8] and so for K-frames.
Hence, we only need to show(ii). Letf ∈R(K). Then we have Ã
X
i∈I
|hf, fii|2 !2

≤ kSFfk2k(K†)k2kXFk2X
i∈I
|hf, fii|2.2
Theorem 2.7 — SupposeF = {fi}i∈I is a ParsevalK-frame forH. The following assertion
hold:
(i) 3
4 ≤v−(F, K, J)≤v+(F, K, J)≤ kKkkK
†k(1 +kKk)
(ii) v+(F, K, J) =v+(F, K, Jc), andv−(F, K, J) =v−(F, K, Jc)
(iii) v+(F, K, I) =v−(F, K, I) = 1, andv+(F, K,∅) =v−(F, K,∅) = 1.
PROOF: For (i), it is sufficient to show the upper inequality. SinceF is a Bessel sequence, so by
applying Lemma 2.6 (i) we obtain ° ° ° ° °

i∈J

i∈I

≤ kKkkK†kkKK∗fk2.
Hence,
v−(F, K, J)≤v+(F, K, J)≤ kKkkK†k(1 +kKkkK†k).
On the other hand, in the proof of Theorem 2.4 we observed that
KK∗SJ−SJcKK∗ =SJ2 −SJ2c.
and consequently we have
hSJ2f, fi+hSJcKK∗f, fi=hSJ2cf, fi+hKK∗SJf, fi,
for everyf ∈ H. Thus

This shows (ii). Finally (iii) is easy to check. 2
Using the result above-mentioned, we establish some equivalent results for ParsevalK-frames.
Corollary 2.8 — Let{fi}i∈I be a ParsevalK-frame forH. Then for everyJ ⊂I andf ∈ Hthe
following conditions are equivalent.
(i) v+(F, K, J) =v−(F, K, J) = 1.
(ii) °°Pi∈Jhf, fiifi °

(iii) °°Pi∈Jchf, fiifi ° °2

i.e.,(i)holds. Hence(i)⇔(iii)and similarly(i)⇔(iii). 2
Finally, we obtain the following more general result.
Corollary 2.9 — Let{fi}i∈I be a ParsevalK-frame forH. Then for everyJ ⊂I andf ∈ Hthe
following conditions are equivalent.
(i) °°Pi∈Jhf, fiifi ° °2
=Pi∈Jhf, fiihKK∗f, fii.
(ii) °°Pi∈Jchf, fiifi ° °2
=Pi∈Jchf, fiihKK∗f, fii.
(iii) SJf ⊥SJcf.
(iv) f ⊥SJcSJf.
PROOF: Since
kSJfk2− hKK∗SJf, fi=kSJcfk2− hKK∗SJcf, fi,
we have(i)⇔(ii). Moreover,SJ andSJcare positive, so we have
hSJcf, SJfi=hf, SJcSJfi=h(SJKK∗−SJ2)f, fi, (f ∈ H).
This follows that,(iii)⇔(iv)and(i)⇔(iv). 2
3. SOMENEWINEQUALITIES
In this section, applying Jensen’s operator inequality we obtain some new inequalities forK-frames.
First, recall that a continuous functionhdefined on an intervalLis said to be operator convex if
h(λA+ (1−λ)B)≤λh(A) + (1−λ)h(B),
for all λ ∈ [0,1] and all self-adjoint operatorsA,B with spectra in L. A general formulation of
Theorem 3.1 — LetH,Kbe Hilbert spaces andh:L→Rbe an operator convex function. For
eachn∈N, the inequality
h( n X
i=1
Φi(Ai))≤ n X
i=1
Φi(h(Ai)), (3.1)
holds for everyn-tuple(A1, ..., An)of self-adjoint operators inB(H)with spectra inL and every
n-tuple(Φ1, ...,Φn)of positive linear mappingsΦi :B(H)→B(K)such that Pn
i=1Φi(IH) =IK.
Also, a variant of Jensen’s operator inequality (3.1) for convex functions is presented as follows
(see [14]).
Theorem 3.2 — LetA1, ..., Anbe self-adjoin operators with spectra in[m, M]for some scalars
m < MandΦ1, ...,Φnbe positive linear mappings fromB(H)intoB(K)with Pn
i=1Φi(IH) =IK, where IH andIK are the identity mappings on H andK, respectively. If h : [m, M] → R is a
continuous convex function, then
h

mIK+M IK−
n X
i=1
Φi(Ai) !
≤h(m)IK+h(M)IK−
n X
i=1
Φi(h(Ai)). (3.2)
Now, we apply inequalities (3.1) and (3.2) to obtain some inequalities forK-frames.
Theorem 3.3 — SupposeF ={fi}i∈I is a ParsevalK-frame forH. Then for every subsetJ of
I,
(i) ifh: [0,kKk2]→Ris an operator convex function, then
h

(ii) ifh: [0,kKk2]→Ris a convex function, then
h

≤h(kKk2IH)−h(SJ) +h(SJc)
2 . (3.4)
PROOF: LetA1=SJ andA2 =SJc. SinceSJ andSJc are positive operators withSJ+SJc =
KK∗, the spectra ofA
1 andA2 are in[0,kKk2]. Now, define Φ1 = 12IB(H) andΦ2 = 12IB(H),
whereIB(H)is the identity mapping onB(H), and putm= 0andM =kKk2. Then, assertions(i)
Corollary 3.4 — SupposeF ={fi}i∈I is a ParsevalK-frame forH. Then for every subsetJ of

and so

Therefore, it follows from (3.6) and (3.7) that

J +SJ2c ≤2kKk2KK∗−

Hence for everyf ∈ H, we obtain inequality (3.5). 2
