In this paper, we introduce the notion of partial affine system that is a subset of an affine system. It has potential applications in signal analysis. A general affine system has been extensively studied; however, the partial one has not. The main focus of this paper is on partial affine system-based frames and dual frames. We obtain a necessary condition and a sufficient condition for a partial affine system to be a frame and present a characterization of partial affine system-based dual frames. Some examples are also provided.

In signal analysis, noise elimination and data compression are 2 common tasks. For (4), they mean to set the high-frequency coefficients (c k with large k) equal to zero and then, for the left terms, to retain only those coefficients c k that are larger (in absolute value) than some specified tolerance (Boggess and Narcowich 1 ). Similarly, for a wavelet frame expansion of the form Math Meth Appl
