Maximal inequalities, frames and greedy algorithms

Abstract
The aim of this article is to use Banach lattice techniques to study coordinate systems in function spaces. We begin by proving that the greedy algorithm of a basis is order convergent if and only if a certain maximal inequality is satisfied. We then show that absolute frames need not admit a reconstruction algorithm with respect to the usual order convergence, but do allow for reconstruction with respect to the order convergence inherited from the double dual. After this, we investigate the extent to which such coordinate systems affect the geometry of the underlying function space. Most notably, we prove that a Banach lattice X is lattice isomorphic to a closed sublattice of a C(K)-space if and only if every unconditional sequence in X is absolute.

Keywords: Basic sequence, order convergence, greedy algorithm, maximal function, Schauder frame
