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...

There are intrinsic wavelet applications, by which we mean mathematical modeling of a physical phenomenon in which wavelet theory is the most natural quantitative means of explaining the phenomenon. This is not the same as the invaluable use of dyadic wavelets, say, as a tool with which to zoom-in or -out with regard to multi-scale phenomena. An example of an intrinsic wavelet application is wa...

This article introduces a systematic study for computational aspects of classical wavelet transforms over finite fields using tools from computational harmonic analysis and also theoretical linear algebra. We present a concrete formulation for the Frobenius norm of the classical wavelet transforms over finite fields. It is shown that each vector defined over a finite field can be represented as...

We discuss an elementary procedure that allows us to construct dual pairs of wavelet frames based on certain dual pairs of Gabor frames and vice versa. The construction preserves tightness of the involved frames. Starting with Gabor frames generated by characteristic functions the construction leads to a class of tight wavelet frames that include the Shannon (orthonormal) wavelet, and applying ...

We characterize Riesz frames and prove that every Riesz frame is the union of a finite number of Riesz sequences. Furthermore, it is shown that for piecewise continuous wavelets with compact support, the associated regular wavelet systems can be decomposed into a finite number of linearly independent sets. Finally, for finite sets an equivalent condition for decomposition into a given number of...

Since the extension principles of constructing wavelet frames were presented, a lot of symmetric and compactly supported wavelet frames with high vanishing moments have been constructed. However the problem of constructing periodic wavelet frames with the help of extension principles is open. In this paper, we will construct tight periodic wavelet frames using the unitary extension principle an...

Motivated by recent developments in the study of finitedimensional frames, this work develops an independent theory of finitedimensional wavelet systems on the circle. Using natural translation and dilation operators, trigonometric polynomial, orthonormal scaling functions are constructed which give rise to finite-dimensional multiresolution analyses and, consequently, orthonormal wavelet syste...
