Chui and Wang discussed the construction of one-dimensional compactly supported wavelets under a general framework, and constructed one-dimensional compactly supported spline wavelets. In this paper, under a mild condition, the construction of M = ( 1 1 1 −1 )-wavelets is obtained.

We generalize earlier results concerning an asymptotic error expansion of wavelet approximations. The properties of the monowavelets, which are the building blocks for the error expansion, are studied in more detail, and connections between spline wavelets and Euler and Bernoulli polynomials are pointed out. The expansion is used to compare the error for different wavelet families. We prove tha...

We construct biorthogonal spline wavelets for periodic splines which extend the notion of “lazy” wavelets for linear functions (where the wavelets are simply a subset of the scaling functions) to splines of higher degree. We then use the lifting scheme in order to improve the approximation properties with respect to a norm induced by a weighted inner product with a piecewise constant weight fun...

l j l ZZ r g Then r are called orthogonal wavelets of multiplicity r if B forms an orthonormal basis of L IR We say that r are wavelets prewavelets of multiplicity r if B forms a Riesz basis of L IR and j l is orthogonal to k n f r g l n j k ZZ with j k The general theory of wavelets of multiplicity r is treated in As usual the method is based on a generalization of the notion of multiresolutio...

A texture classification system is described, based on isotropic polyharmonic B–spline wavelets that identify lung tissue patterns from high–resolution computed tomography (HRCT) images of patients affected with interstitial lung diseases (ILD). Along with several desirable properties for isotropic texture analysis, the nonseparable transform with a quincunx subsambling scheme allows a mean of ...

We extend Schoenberg's B-splines to all fractional degrees α > − 2 . These splines are constructed using linear combinations of the integer shifts of the power functions x+ α (one-sided) or x * α (symmetric); in each case, they are αHölder continuous for α > 0. They satisfy most of the properties of the traditional B-splines; in particular, the Riesz basis condition and the two-scale relation, ...

Solving the Saint-Venant equations by numerical methods like finite element and finite difference methods yields an unstable solution for a fairly large open channel. Multiple Knot B-Spline Wavelets (MKBSW) are in the class of semi-orthogonal wavelets that have compact support. Hence, these basis functions are suitable for solving the Saint-Venant equations. However, solving the Saint-Venant eq...
