FRAMEMULAPPR - Best Approximation of a matrix by a frame multiplier

Program code:

function [s,TA]=framemulappr(Fa,Fs,T)
%FRAMEMULAPPR  Best Approximation of a matrix by a frame multiplier
%   Usage: s=framemulappr(Fa,Fs,T);
%         [s,TA]=framemulappr(Fa,Fs,T);
%
%   Input parameters:
%          Fa   : Analysis frame
%          Fs   : Synthesis frame
%          T    : The operator represented as a matrix
%
%   Output parameters: 
%          s    : Symbol of best approximation
%          TA   : The best approximation of the matrix T
%
%   s=FRAMEMULAPPR(Fa,Fs,T) computes the symbol s of the frame
%   multiplier that best approximates the matrix T in the Frobenious norm
%   of the matrix (the Hilbert-Schmidt norm of the operator). The frame
%   multiplier uses Fa for analysis and Fs for synthesis.
%
%   Examples:
%   
%     T = eye(2,2);
%     D = [0 1/sqrt(2) -1/sqrt(2); 1 -1/sqrt(2) -1/sqrt(2)];
%     F = frame('gen',D);
%     [coeff,TA] = framemulappr(F,F,T)
