We generalize the Second Oversampling Theorem for wavelet frames and dual wavelet frames from the setting of integer dilations to real dilations. We also study the relationship between dilation matrix oversampling of semi-orthogonal Parseval wavelet frames and the additional shift invariance gain of the core subspace. Oversampling of wavelet frames has been a subject of extensive study by several authors dating back to the early 1990s. The first oversampling results are due to Chui and Shi [16, 17], who proved that oversampling by odd factors preserves tightness of dyadic affine frames. This is now the central result of the subject known as the Second Oversampling Theorem. Its higher dimensional generalizations to integer matrix dilations were studied by Chui and Shi [18], Johnson [27], Laugesen [30], and Ron and Shen [31]. In particular, these authors introduced (in several equivalent forms) the class of oversampling matrices ‘relatively prime’ to a fixed dilation A and they established several oversampling results for (not necessarily tight) affine frames. Dutkay and Jorgensen [23] shed a new light on these results by showing that oversampling of orthonormal (or frame) wavelets by such matrices leads to orthonormal (or frame) superwavelets, respectively. Chui and Sun [22] have completed the understanding of the case of integer dilations by showing that the class of ‘relatively prime’ matrices is optimal for the Second Oversampling Theorem; that is, if an oversampling matrix falls out of this class, then the oversampling does not preserve a tight frame property in general. However, it is possible to give a characterization of oversampling matrices preserving tightness once affine frame generators are chosen. These
Now, by , we have @math , and thus @math . Combining this with and implies that @math .

In this paper we extend the investigation of quasi-affine systems, which were originally introduced by Ron and Shen [J. Funct. Anal. 148 (1997), 408-447] for integer, expansive dilations, to the class of rational, expansive dilations. We show that an affine system is a frame if, and only if, the corresponding family of quasi-affine systems are frames with uniform frame bounds. We also prove a similar equivalence result between pairs of dual affine frames and dual quasi-affine frames. Finally, we uncover some fundamental differences between the integer and rational settings by exhibiting an example of a quasi-affine frame such that its affine counterpart is not a frame.
