Explicit construction of operators and powers for sequence approximation

Abstract

Generalizing results by Halperin et al., Grivaux recently showed that any linearly independent sequence $\{f_k\}_{k=1}^\infty$ in a separable Banach space $X$ can be represented as a suborbit $\{T^{\alpha(k)}\varphi\}_{k=1}^\infty$ of some bounded operator $T: X\to X.$ In general, the operator $T$ and the powers $\alpha(k)$ are not known explicitly. In this paper we consider approximate representations $\{f_k\}_{k=1}^\infty \approx \{T^{\alpha(k)}\varphi\}_{k=1}^\infty$ of certain types of sequences $\{f_k\}_{k=1}^\infty.$ In contrast to the results in the literature we are able to be very explicit about the operator $T$ and suitable powers $\alpha(k),$ and we do not need to assume that the sequences are linearly independent. The exact meaning of approximation is defined in a way such that $\{T^{\alpha(k)}\varphi\}_{k=1}^\infty$ keeps essential features of $\{f_k\}_{k=1}^\infty,$ e.g., in the setting of atomic decompositions and Banach frames. We will present two different approaches. The first approach is universal, in the sense that it applies in general Banach spaces; the technical conditions are typically easy to verify in sequence spaces, but are more complicated in function spaces. For this reason we present a second approach, directly tailored to the setting of Banach function spaces. A number of examples prove that the results apply in arbitrary weighted $\ell^p$-spaces and $L^p$-spaces.
