Sequences of dilations and translations equivalent to the Haar system in $L^p$-spaces

Abstract

Let $f={\sum }_{k=0}^{\infty }{c}_k{h}_{2^k}$, where $\{h_n\}$ is the classical Haar system, $c_k\in \mathbb{C}$. Given a $p\in (1,\infty )$, we find the sharp conditions, under which the sequence $\{f_n{\}}_{n=1}^{\infty }$ of dilations and translations of $f$ is a basis in the space $L^p[0,1]$, equivalent to $\{h_n{\}}_{n=1}^{\infty }$. The results obtained depend substantially on whether $p\ge 2$ or $1<p<2$ and include as the endpoints of the $L_p$-scale the spaces $BM{O}_d$ and $H_d^1$. The proofs are based on an appropriate splitting the set of positive integers $\mathbb{N}={\cup }_{d=1}^{\infty }{N}_d$ so that the equivalence of $\{f_n{\}}_{n=1}^{\infty }$ to the Haar system in $L_p$ would be ensured by the fact that $\{f_n{\}}_{n\in N_d}$ is a basis in the subspace $[h_m,m\in N_d{]}_{L_p}$, equivalent to the Haar subsequence $\{h_n{\}}_{n\in N_d}$ for every $d=1,2,\dots$.
