Gabor Frames of Totally Positive Functions

For which lattice parameters does a totally positive window function generate a Gabor frame? Gröchenig and Stöckler initiated the program in 2013; this paper gives the complete characterization, together with a Kadets-type theorem for shift-invariant spaces.

What the AI did

GPT-5.4 surveyed the limit-operator literature and suggested the connection that led the authors to Seidel's work, from which the proof of Theorem 3.3 was adapted; it also suggested simplifications including a simpler perturbation sequence in Lemma 4.4. Codex 5.5 and Claude Opus 4.7 assisted with the Lean formalization. Gröchenig, who posed the program, is among the authors.

Verification

The paper carries a Lean formalization written with Codex 5.5 and Claude Opus 4.7 assistance; all arguments and formalizations were independently checked by the authors. No external review yet. Tier: the Lean formalization was written with model assistance and checked by the authors themselves; author checking is not independent review.
