1. Introduction
Let
and
be the unitary Fourier transform obtained by extending uniquely the bounded linear operator
The
Shannon entropy at a function
is defined as
(with the convention
) [
1]. In 1957, Hirschman proved the following result [
2].
Theorem 1.1.
[2] (Hirschman Inequality) For all ,
In the same paper [
2] Hirschman conjectured that Inequality (2) can be improved to
Inequality (3) was proved independently in 1975 by Beckner [
3] and Bialynicki-Birula and Mycielski [
4].
Theorem 1.2.
[3,4] (Hirschman-Beckner-Bialynicki-Birula-Mycielski Uncertainty Principle) For all ,
Now one naturally asks whether there is a finite dimensional version of Shannon entropy and uncertainty principle. Let
be a finite dimensional Hilbert space. Given an orthonormal basis
for
, the
(finite) Shannon entropy at a point
is defined as
where
[
5]. In 1983, Deutsch derived following uncertainty principle for Shannon entropy which is fundamental to several developments in Mathematics and Physics [
5].
Theorem 1.3.
[5] (Deutsch Uncertainty Principle) Let , be two orthonormal bases for a finite dimensional Hilbert space . Then
Recently, author derived Banach space versions of Donoho-Stark-Elad-Bruckstein-Ricaud-Torrésani uncertainty principle [
6], Donoho-Stark approximate support uncertainty principle [
7] and Ghobber-Jaming uncertainty principle [
8]. We then naturally ask what is the Banach space version of Inequality (4)? In this paper, we are going to answer this question.
2. Functional Deutsch Uncertainty Principle
In the paper, denotes or and denotes a finite dimensional Banach space over . Dual of is denoted by . We need the notion of Parseval p-frames for Banach spaces.
Definition 2.1.
[9,10] Let be a finite dimensional Banach space over . A collection in is said to be a Parseval p-frame() for if
Note that (5) says that
for all
. Given a Parseval p-frame
for
, we define the
(finite) p-Shannon entropy at a point
as
where
. Following is the fundamental result of this paper.
Theorem 2.2
(Functional Deutsch Uncertainty Principle) Let and be Parseval p-frames for a finite dimensional Banach space . Then
and
Proof. Let
be such that
. Then
which gives
Since
for all
,
for all
and log function is concave, using Jensen’s inequality (see [
11]) we get
Let
. Then

Corollary 2.3. Theorem 1.3 follows from Theorem 2.2.
Proof. Let
,
be two orthonormal bases for a finite dimensional Hilbert space
. Define
Now by using Buzano inequality (see [
12,
13]) we get
□
Theorem 2.2 brings the following question.
Question 2.4. Given p, m, n and a Banach space , for which pairs of Parseval p-frames and for , we have equality in Inequality (6)?
Next we derive a dual inequality of (6). For this we need dual of Definition 2.1.
Definition 2.5.
[14,15,16] Let be a finite dimensional Banach space over . A collection in is said to be a Parseval p-frame () for if
Note that (7) says that
Given a Parseval p-frame
for
, we define the
(finite) p-Shannon entropy at a point
as
where
. We now have the following dual to Theorem 2.2.
Theorem 2.6.
(Functional Deutsch Uncertainty Principle) Let and be two Parseval p-frames for the dual of a finite dimensional Banach space . Then
and
Proof. Let
be such that
. Then
which gives
Since
for all
,
for all
and log function is concave, using Jensen’s inequality we get
Let
. Then
□
Theorem 2.6 again gives the following question.
Question 2.7. Given p, m, n and a Banach space , for which pairs of Parseval p-frames and for , we have equality in Inequality (8)?
Author is aware of the improvement of Theorem 1.3 by Maassen and Uffink [
17] (cf. [
18]) (motivated from a conjecture of Kraus [
19]) but unable to derive Maassen-Uffink uncertainty principle from Theorem 2.2.
