Abstract
For a large class of irregular wavelet frames we derive a fundamental relationship between the affine density of the set of indices, the frame bounds, and the admissibility constant of the wavelet. Several implications of this theorem are studied. For instance, this result reveals one reason why wavelet systems do not display a Nyquist phenomenon analogous to Gabor systems, a question asked in Daubechies' Ten Lectures book. It also implies that the affine density of the set of indices associated with a tight wavelet frame has to be uniform. Finally, we show that affine density conditions can even be used to characterize the existence of wavelet frames, thus serving, in particular, as sufficient conditions.
