Nonstationary Tight Wavelet Frames, I: Bounded Intervals
نویسندگان
چکیده
The notion of tight (wavelet) frames could be viewed as a generalization of orthonormal wavelets. By allowing redundancy, we gain the necessary flexibility to achieve such properties as “symmetry” for compactly supported wavelets and, more importantly, to be able to extend the classical theory of spline functions with arbitrary knots to a new theory of spline-wavelets that possess such important properties as local support and vanishing moments of order up to the same order of the associated B-splines. This paper is devoted to develop the mathematical foundation of a general theory of such tight frames of nonstationary wavelets on a bounded interval, with spline-wavelets on nested knot sequences of arbitrary non-degenerate knots, having an appropriate number of knots stacked at the end-points, as canonical examples. In a forthcoming paper under preparation, we develop a parallel theory for the study of nonstationary tight frames on an unbounded interval, and particularly the real line, which precisely generalizes the recent work [7,18] from the shift-invariance setting to a general nonstationary theory. In this regard, it is important to point out that, in contrast to orthonormal wavelets, tight frames on a bounded interval, even for the stationary setting in general, cannot be constructed simply by using the tight frame generators for the real line in [7,18] and introducing certain appropriate boundary functions. In other words, the general theories for tight frames on bounded and unbounded intervals are somewhat different, and the results in this paper cannot be derived directly from those of our forthcoming paper. The intent of this paper and the forthcoming one is to build a mathematical foundation for further future research in this direction. There are certainly many interesting unanswered questions, including those concerning minimum support, minimum cardinality of frame elements on each level, “symmetry”, and order of approximation of truncated frame series. In addition, generalization of our development to sibling frames already encounters the obstacle of achieving Bessel bounds to assure the frame structure.

Nonstationary Tight Wavelet Frames, II: Unbounded Intervals
From the definition of tight frames, normalized with frame bound constant equal to one, a tight frame of wavelets can be considered as a natural generalization of an orthonormal wavelet basis, with the only exception that the wavelets are not required to have norm equal to one. However, without the orthogonality property, the tight-frame wavelets do not necessarily have vanishing moments of ord...
متن کاملTight wavelet frames for irregular multiresolution analysis
An important tool for the construction of tight wavelet frames is the Unitary Extension Principle first formulated in the Fourierdomain by Ron and Shen. We show that the time-domain analogue of this principle provides a unified approach to the construction of tight frames based on many variations of multiresolution analyses, e.g., regular refinements of bounded L-shaped domains, refinements of ...

In this paper we shall characterize Sobolev spaces of an arbitrary order of smoothness using nonstationary tight wavelet frames for L2(R). In particular, we show that a Sobolev space of an arbitrary fixed order of smoothness can be characterized in terms of the weighted `2-norm of the analysis wavelet coefficient sequences using a fixed compactly supported nonstationary tight wavelet frame in L...

In this paper, we obtain symmetric C∞ real-valued tight wavelet frames in L2(R) with compact support and the spectral frame approximation order. Furthermore, we present a family of symmetric compactly supported C∞ orthonormal complex wavelets in L2(R). A complete analysis of nonstationary tight wavelet frames and orthonormal wavelet bases in L2(R) is given.
متن کاملExtension Principles for Tight Wavelet Frames of Periodic Functions
A unitary extension principle for constructing normalized tight wavelet frames of periodic functions of one or higher dimensions is established. While the wavelets are nonstationary, the method much simplifies their construction by reducing it to a matrix extension problem that involves finite rows of complex numbers. Further flexibility is achieved by reformulating the result as an oblique ext...
