GABDUALNORM - Measure of how close a window is to being a dual window

Program code:

function [o1,o2]=gabdualnorm(g,gamma,a,M,varargin);
%GABDUALNORM  Measure of how close a window is to being a dual window
%   Usage:  dn=gabdualnorm(g,gamma,a,M);
%           dn=gabdualnorm(g,gamma,a,M,L);
%           dn=gabdualnorm(g,gamma,a,M,'lt',lt);
%           [scal,res]=gabdualnorm(...);
%
%   Input parameters:
%         gamma  : input window..
%         g      : window function.
%         a      : Length of time shift.
%         M      : Number of modulations.
%         L      : Length of transform to consider
%   Output parameters:
%         dn     : dual norm.
%         scal   : Scaling factor
%         res    : Residual
%
%   GABDUALNORM(g,gamma,a,M) calculates how close gamma is to being a
%   dual window of the Gabor frame with window g and parameters a and M.
%
%   The windows g and gamma may be vectors of numerical values, text strings
%   or cell arrays. See the help of GABWIN for more details.
%
%   [scal,res]=GABDUALNORM(...) computes two entities: scal determines
%   if the windows are scaled correctly, it must be 1 for the windows to be
%   dual. Note that the scaling factor scal is expected to be real for 
%   real-valued window pairs g and gamma, but may be complex for general 
%   windows. res is close to zero if the windows (scaled correctly) are dual
%   windows.
%
%   GABDUALNORM(g,gamma,a,M,L) does the same, but considers a transform
%   length of L.
%
%   GABDUALNORM(g,gamma,a,M,'lt',lt) does the same for a non-separable
%   lattice specified by lt. Please see the help of MATRIX2LATTICETYPE
%   for a precise description of the parameter lt.
%
%   GABDUALNORM can be used to get the maximum relative reconstruction
%   error when using the two specified windows. Consider the following code
%   for some signal f, windows g, gamma, parameters a and M and 
%   transform-length L (See help on DGT on how to obtain L*):
%
%     fr=idgt(dgt(f,g,a,M),gamma,a); 
%     er=norm(f-fr)/norm(f);
%     eest=gabdualnorm(g,gamma,a,M,L);
%
%   Then  er<eest for all possible input signals f.
%
%   To get a similar estimate for an almost tight window gt, simply use :
%  
%     eest=gabdualnorm(gt,gt,a,M,L);
