The purpose of this note is to prove a sufficient and necessary criterion on the stability of a subsequence of the finite section method for a so-called band-dominated operator on $\ell^p(\Z^N,X)$. We hereby generalize previous results into
several directions: We generalize the subsequence theorem from
dimension $N=1$ (see [Rabinovich/Roch/Silbermann 2006]) to arbitrary dimensions $N\ge 1$. Even for the case of the full sequence, our result is new in dimensions $N>2$ and it corrects a mistake in the literature for $N=2$. Finally, we allow the truncations to be taken by homothetic copies of very general starlike geometries $\Omega\in\R^N$ rather than convex polytopes.
