1 Localized Frames via Coorbit Theory Hans G. Feichtinger, Markus Neuhauser, Mariusz Piotrowski co-authors sponsored by EUCETIFA Marie Curie Excellence Grant NuHAG, Vienna SampTA07, Thessaloniki, June 2007 It is the purpose of this talk to point out certain connections between the early coorbit theory ([3, 4]) and the more recent theory of localized frames (see [11]). Essentially one can say, that in the situation which allows to obtain an atomic decomposition for a whole family of Banach space (in fact coorbit spaces), then one has implicitly the guarantee that the corresponding reconstruction operators (they are not necessarily the same as the one obtained by the standard frame method) are a localized. This implies that one has also automatically the so-called HAP (= homogeneous approximation property), even in the context of general coorbit spaces, not only for L 2 (R). One possible way to obtain these results is to follow the program outlined in [5] in the coorbit context (instead of the original irregular sampling setting). Hans G.
