GABMULAPPR - Best Approximation by a Gabor multiplier

Program code:

function [sym,lowb,upb]=gabmulappr(T,p2,p3,p4,p5);
%GABMULAPPR  Best Approximation by a Gabor multiplier
%   Usage:  sym=gabmulappr(T,a,M);
%           sym=gabmulappr(T,g,a,M);
%           sym=gabmulappr(T,ga,gs,a,M);
%           [sym,lowb,upb]=gabmulappr( ... );
%
%   Input parameters:
%         T     : matrix to be approximated
%         g     : analysis/synthesis window
%         ga    : analysis window
%         gs    : synthesis window
%         a     : Length of time shift.
%         M     : Number of channels.
%
%   Output parameters:
%         sym   : symbol
%
%   sym=GABMULAPPR(T,g,a,M) calculates the best approximation of the given
%   matrix T in the Frobenius norm by a Gabor multiplier determined by the
%   symbol sym over the rectangular time-frequency lattice determined by
%   a and M.  The window g will be used for both analysis and
%   synthesis.
%
%   GABMULAPPR(T,a,M) does the same using an optimally concentrated, tight
%   Gaussian as window function.
%
%   GABMULAPPR(T,gs,ga,a) does the same using the window ga for analysis
%   and gs for synthesis.
%
%   [sym,lowb,upb]=GABMULAPPR(...) additionally returns the lower and
%   upper Riesz bounds of the rank one operators, the projections resulting
%   from the tensor products of the analysis and synthesis frames.
