The Cahill-Casazza-Daubechies problem on Hölder stable phase retrieval

by D. Freeman and M. Taylor

(Report number 2025-33)

Abstract
Phase retrieval using a frame for a finite-dimensional Hilbert space is known to always be Lipschitz stable. However, phase retrieval using a frame or a continuous frame for an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space is always unstable. In order to bridge the gap between the finite and infinite dimensional phenomena, Cahill-Casazza-Daubechies in 2016 gave a construction of a family of nonlinear subsets of an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space where phase retrieval could be performed with a Hölder stability estimate. They then posed the question of whether these subsets satisfied Lipschitz stable phase retrieval. We solve this problem both by giving examples which fail Lipschitz stability and by giving examples which satisfy Lipschitz stability.

Keywords: Stable phase retrieval; nonlinear inverse problem; frame theory.
