<p>Is every unit norm Bessel sequence in a Hilbert space a finite union of separated ones? Is every unit norm separated sequence a finite union of uniformly minimal (minimal with uniformly bounded biorthogonal vectors) ones? </p>

instead of $\leq \|f\|^2$ it should be $\leq C\|f\|^2$. Sorry.

$f_n$ is a Bessel sequence if $\sum|&lt;f|f_n&gt;|^2\leq \|f\|^2$ for all vectors $f$.

Unit norm means each vector is of norm 1. Separated means that there is a constant $c&gt;0$ s.t. the distance between any two vectors is $&gt;c$. Minimal means that none of the vectors is in the closed span of the others.
