The corresponding time-frequency shifts of $g$ form a so-called Gabor family. We investigate the structural properties of the discrete Gabor transforms. We address the problem of finding the best approximation of a signal $x\in {\bbfC}^{N}$ by linear combinations of a Gabor family. We consider critical sampling, oversampling and undersampling, and do not assume that the Gabor family is a frame. For the task we determine the (generalized) dual Gabor atom (GDGA). This amounts to determining the pseudoinverse of the Gabor matrix and can be solved by the conjugate-gradient (CG) algorithm with $O(N)$ complexity for fixed lattice constants $(a,b)$. We provide an easy practical criterion for checking whether a Gabor triple $(g,a,b)$ generates a Gabor frame or not. We propose an efficient algorithm for estimating the Gabor frame bounds and an algorithm for determining tight Gabor atoms.}, identifier = {00984099}, }
