1. Introduction
Let
and
be the unitary Fourier transform obtained by extending uniquely the bounded linear operator
In 2007, Jaming [
1] extended the uncertainty principle obtained by Nazarov for
in 1993 [
2] (cf. [
3]). In the following theorem, Lebesgue measure on
is denoted by
m. Mean width of a measurable subset
E of
having finite measure is denoted by
.
Theorem 1 ([
1,
2]).
(Nazarov-Jaming Uncertainty Principle) For each , there exists a universal constant (depends upon d) satisfying the following: If are measurable subsets having finite measure, then for all ,
In particular, if f is supported on E and is supported on F, then .
Theorem 1 and the milestone paper [
4] of Donoho and Stark which derived finite dimensional uncertainty principles, motivated Ghobber and Jaming [
5] to ask what is the exact finite dimensional analogue of Theorem 1? Ghobber and Jaming were able to derive the following beautiful theorem. Given a subset
, the number of elements in
M is denoted by
.
Theorem 2 ([
5]).
(Ghobber-Jaming Uncertainty Principle) Let and be orthonormal bases for the Hilbert space . If are such that
In particular, if h is supported on M in the expansion using basis and h is supported on N in the expansion using basis , then .
It is reasonable to ask whether there is a Banach space version of Ghobber-Jaming Uncertainty Principle, which when restricted to Hilbert space, reduces to Theorem 2? We are going to answer this question in the paper.
2. Functional Ghobber-Jaming Uncertainty Principle
In the paper,
denotes
or
and
denotes a finite dimensional Banach space over
. Identity operator on

. Whenever
,
q denotes conjugate index of
p. For
, the standard finite dimensional Banach space
over
equipped with standard
norm is denoted by
. Canonical basis for
is denoted by
and
be the coordinate functionals associated with
. Motivated from the properties of orthonormal bases for Hilbert spaces, we set the following notion of p-orthonormal bases which is also motivated from the notion of p-approximate Schauder frames [
6] and p-unconditional Schauder frames [
7].
Definition 1.
Letbe a finite dimensional Banach space over. Letbe a basis forand letbe the coordinate functionals associated with. The pairis said to be ap-orthonormal basis
() for if the following conditions hold.
-
(i)
for all.
-
(ii)
For every,
Given a p-orthonormal basis
, we easily see from Definition 1 that
Example 1. The pair is a p-orthonormal basis for .
Like orthonormal bases for Hilbert spaces, the following theorem characterizes all p-orthonormal bases.
Theorem 3.
Let be a p-orthonormal basis for . Then a pair is a p-orthonormal basis for if and only if there is an invertible linear isometry such that
Proof. Define
. Since
is a basis for
,
V is invertible with inverse
. For
,
Therefore
V is isometry. Note that we clearly have
Now let
. Then
Since
V is invertible,
is a basis for
. Now we see that
for all
. Therefore
is the coordinate functionals associated with
. Since
V is an isometry, we have
for all
. Since
V is also invertible, we have
Finally, for every
,

In the next result we show that Example 1 is prototypical as long as we consider p-orthonormal bases.
Theorem 4. If has a p-orthonormal basis , then is isometrically isomorphic to .
Proof. Define . By doing a similar calculation as in the direct part in the proof of Theorem 3, we see that V is an invertible isometry. □
Now we derive main result of this paper.
Theorem 5.(Functional Ghobber-Jaming Uncertainty Principle) Let and be p-orthonormal bases for . If are such that
In particular, if x is supported on M in the expansion using basis and x is supported on N in the expansion using basis , then .
Proof. Given
, define
Also define
. Then
V is an invertible isometry. Using
V we make following important calculations:
and
Now let
be such that
Then
and
Let
. Note that
satisfies
Now using (
4) we get
Therefore
which gives the theorem. □
Corollary 1. Theorem 2 follows from Theorem 5.
Proof. Let
,
be two orthonormal bases for a finite dimensional Hilbert space
. Define
Then and for all □
By interchanging p-orthonormal bases in Theorem 5 we get the following theorem.
Theorem 6.(Functional Ghobber-Jaming Uncertainty Principle) Let and be p-orthonormal bases for . If are such that
In particular, if x is supported on M in the expansion using basis and x is supported on N in the expansion using basis , then .
Observe that the constant
in Inequality (
1) is depending upon subsets
E,
F and not on the entire domain
of functions
f,
. Thus it is natural to ask whether there is a constant sharper in Inequality (
3) depending upon subsets
M,
N and not on
. A careful observation in the proof of Theorem 5 gives following result.
Theorem 7.
Let and be p-orthonormal bases for . If are such that
Similarly we have the following result from Theorem 6.
Theorem 8.
Let and be p-orthonormal bases for . If are such that
Theorem 5 brings the following question.
Question 9. Given p and a Banach space of dimension n, for which subsets and pairs of p-orthonormal bases , for , we have equality in Inequality (3)?
It is clear that we used in the proof of Theorem 5. However, Definition 1 can easily be extended to include cases and . This therefore leads to the following question.
Question 10. Whether there are Functional Ghobber-Jaming Uncertainty Principle (versions of Theorem 5) for 1-orthonormal bases and ∞-orthonormal bases?
We end by mentioning that Donoho-Stark-Elad-Bruckstein-Ricaud-Torrésani Uncertainty Principle for finite dimensional Banach spaces is derived in [
8] (actually, in [
8] the functional uncertainty principle was derived for p-Schauder frames which is general than p-orthonormal bases. Thus it is worth to derive Theorem 5 or a variation of it for p-Schauder frames, which we are unable).
