We describe a method to construct a hierarchical representation of a given implicitly defined algebraic spline curve with the help of weighted spline wavelets. These wavelets are adapted to the region of interest, in our case to the region along the curve, by means of a weighted inner product. The application of two different types of weighted spline wavelets is considered and compared with sta...

This paper is to construct Riesz wavelets with short support. Riesz wavelets with short support are of interests in both theory and application. In theory, it is known that a B-spline of order m has the shortest support among all compactly supported refinable functions with the same regularity. However, it remained open whether a Riesz wavelet with the shortest support and m vanishing moments c...

An effective technique upon linear B-spline wavelets has been developed for solving weakly singular Fredholm integral equations. Properties of these wavelets and some operational matrices are first presented. These properties are then used to reduce the computation of integral equations to some algebraic equations. The method is computationally attractive, and applications are demonstrated thro...

A numerical scheme, based on the cubic B-spline wavelets for solving fractional integro-differential equations is presented. The fractional derivative of these wavelets are utilized to reduce the fractional integro-differential equation to system of algebraic equations. Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency and simplicity of the method.

In this paper, the linear semiorthogonal compactly supported B-spline wavelets together with their dual wavelets have been applied to approximate the solutions of Fredholm integral equations of the second kind. Properties of these wavelets are first presented; these properties are then utilized to reduce the computation of integral equations to some algebraic equations. The method is computatio...
