Given a real sequence {lambda(n)}(n is an element of Z). Suppose that {e(i
lambda nx)}(n is an element of Z) is a frame for L-2[-pi, pi] with The is t
o find a positive constant L such that for any real sequence {mu(n)}(n is a
n element of Z) ABSTRACT bounds A, B. The problem is to find a positive con
stant L such that for any real sequence {mu(n)}(n is an element of Z) with
\mu(n) - lambda(n)\ less than or equal to delta < L, {e(i mu nx)}(n is an e
lement of Z) is also a frame for L-2[-pi, pi]. Balan [I] obtained L-R = 1/4
- 1/pi arcsin (1/root 2 (1 - root A/B)). This value ir a good stability bo
und of Fourier frames because it covers Kadec's 1/4-theorem (L-r = 1/4 if A
= B) and is better than L-DS = 1/pi ln (1+ root A/B) (see Duffin and Schae
fer [3]). In this paper; a sharper estimate is given.
