Gabor Frame Regions and Non-Frame Obstructions for an even Rational Window

Abstract

We study the Gabor frame properties of the rational window $$g(x)=\frac{x^2-1}{(x^2+1)(x^2+4)(x^2+9)},$$ whose poles occur in symmetric pairs. We prove that every lattice satisfying $0<\alpha \beta <1/3$ generates a frame, and we establish an additional frame region for $\beta \ge 1$ and $1/3\le \alpha \beta <0.47373$. Furthermore, we show that the rational hyperbolas $\alpha \beta =\frac{p}{3p-1}$, for $p\ge 2,$ are entirely contained within the frame set. In contrast, we construct explicit non-frame lattice points on the hyperbolas $$\alpha \beta \in \left\{\frac{1}{3},\frac{1}{2},\frac{2}{3},\frac{3}{4}\right\}.$$ Finally, for the density family $\alpha \beta =p/(p+1)$, we derive a symmetry reduction of the associated Zibulski-Zeevi matrix, providing numerical evidence for a richer structure of non-frame obstructions.
