Lipschitz Analysis of g-Phase Retrievable Frames by Mohammad Ali Hasankhani Fard

“…In this paper we study the Lipschitz analysis of the nonlinear map $\alpha_{\lambda,{\mathcal{F}}}:\widehat{\mathcal{H}_n}\longrightarrow\mathbb{F}^m, \ \ \ \alpha_{\lambda,{\mathcal{F}}}(\hat{x}):=\begin{bmatrix}\lambda\left( \left\langle {x,f_k}\right\rangle\right)\end{bmatrix}_{1\leq k\leq m}$, where $\widehat{\mathcal{H}_n}$ is the quotient space corresponding to a special equivalence relation on $\mathcal{H}_n$ with respect to phase coefficient function $\lambda$,  $\mathcal{F}=\{f_k\}_{k=1}^m$ is a $\lambda$-phase retrievable frame for $\mathcal{H}_n$, $\mathbb{F}=\mathbb{R}$ for real Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}_n$ and $\mathbb{F}=\mathbb{C}$ for complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}_n$.…”
