Stability of g-frames ✩

g-Frames are natural generalizations of frames which cover many other recent generalizations of frames, e.g., bounded quasi-projectors, frames of subspaces, outer frames, oblique frames, pseudo-frames and a class of time-frequency localization operators. Moreover, it is known that g-frames are equivalent to stable space splittings. In this paper, we study the stability of g-frames. We first present some properties for g-Bessel sequences. Then we prove that g-frames are stable under small perturbations. We also study the stability of dual g-frames. © 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
