The concept of a frame is a generalization of the concept of an orthonormal basis: each vector in the space can be represented as a sum of the elements in the frame, but not necessarily uniquely. It is because of this redundancy in representation that frames have found important applications. Surpisingly, despite the fact that frames do not in general consist of orthonormal vectors, the frame representation of a vector may still satisfy the Parseval equation.
A frame in a Hilbert space is a collection
of vectors in such that there exist constants such that for all ,
The constants are called the lower and upper frame bounds respectively, or the frame constants. The optimal frame constants and are defined respectively as the supremum and infimum of all possible lower and upper frame bounds. When , the frame is a tight frame, or an -tight frame. A -tight frame is referred to as a Parseval frame, and the Parseval equation holds with respect to the frame elements:
for all .
Let
and
be a frame in ( ).
The analysis operator
is the function defined such that

The synthesis operator
is the function defined such that

, that is,
for all and all
.
The frame operator is defined as the matrix
such that
for all .
The Grammian operator is defined as the composition
.
The Grammian and frame operators have the same nonzero eigenvalues.
