The affine synthesis operator is shown to map the coefficient space $\ell^p$ surjectively onto $L^p$, for $0 < p \leq 1$. Here the synthesizer need satisfy only mild restrictions, for example having nonzero integral or else periodization that is real-valued, nontrivial and bounded below. Consequences include an affine atomic decomposition of $L^p$. Tools include an analysis operator that acts nonlinearly, in contrast to the usual linear analysis operator for $p>1$., Comment: 29 pages
