Wavelets for multichannel signals

In this paper, we introduce and investigate multichannel wavelets, which are wavelets for vector fields, based on the concept of full rank subdivision operators. We prove that, like in the scalar and multiwavelet case, the existence of a scaling function with orthogonal integer translates guarantees the existence of a wavelet function, also with orthonormal integer translates. In this context, however, scaling functions as well as wavelets turn out to be matrix-valued functions.     

A general construction of nonseparable multivariate orthonormal wavelet bases

The construction of nonseparable and compactly supported orthonormal wavelet bases of L ²(R ⁿ ); n ≥ 2, is still a challenging and an open research problem. In this paper, we provide a special method for the construction of such wavelet bases. The wavelets constructed by this method are dyadic wavelets. Also, we show that our proposed method can be adapted for an eventual construction of multidimensional orthogonal multiwavelet matrix masks, candidates for generating multidimensional multiwavelet bases.

Design of Interpolating Biorthogonal Multiwavelet Systems with Compact Support

In this paper we characterize all totally interpolating biorthogonal finite impulse response (FIR) multifilter banks of multiplicity two, and provide a design framework for corresponding compactly supported multiwavelet systems with high approximation order. In these systems, each component of the analysis and synthesis portions possesses the interpolating property. The design framework is based on scalar filter banks, and examples with approximation order two and three are provided. We show that our multiwavelet systems preserve almost all of the desirable properties of the generalized interpolating scalar wavelet systems, including the dyadic-rational nature of the filter coefficients, equality of the flatness degree of the low-pass filters and the approximation order of the corresponding functions, and equality between the uniform samples of a signal and its projection coefficients for a given scale. This last property allows us to avoid the cumbersome prefiltering associated with standard multiwavelet systems. We also show that there are no symmetric totally interpolating biorthogonal multifilter banks of multiplicity two. Finally, we point out that our design framework incorporates a simple relationship between the multiscaling functions and multiwavelets that substantially simplifies the implementation of the system.     

Existence and construction of compactly supported biorthogonal multiple vector-valued wavelets

In this paper, we introduce biorthogonal multiple vector-valued wavelets which are wavelets for vector fields. We proved that, like in the scalar and multiwavelet case, the existence of a pair of biorthogonal multiple vector-valued scaling functions guarantees the existence of a pair of biorthogonal multiple vector-valued wavelet functions. Finally, we investigate the construction of a class of compactly supported biorthogonal multiple vector-valued wavelets.

Symmetric orthonormal scaling functions and wavelets with dilation factor 4

It is well known that in the univariate case, up to an integer shift and possible sign change, there is no dyadic compactly supported symmetric orthonormal scaling function except for the Haar function. In this paper we are concerned with the construction of symmetric orthonormal scaling functions with dilation factor d=4. Several examples of such orthonormal scaling functions are provided in this paper. In particular, two examples of C ¹ orthonormal scaling functions, which are symmetric about 0 and 1/6, respectively, are presented. We will then discuss how to construct symmetric wavelets from these scaling functions. We explicitly construct the corresponding orthonormal symmetric wavelets for all the examples given in this paper.

Multiwavelet Frames from Refinable Function Vectors

Starting from any two compactly supported d-refinable function vectors in (L ₂(R)) ^r with multiplicity r and dilation factor d, we show that it is always possible to construct 2rd wavelet functions with compact support such that they generate a pair of dual d-wavelet frames in L ₂(R) and they achieve the best possible orders of vanishing moments. When all the components of the two real-valued d-refinable function vectors are either symmetric or antisymmetric with their symmetry centers differing by half integers, such 2rd wavelet functions, which generate a pair of dual d-wavelet frames, can be real-valued and be either symmetric or antisymmetric with the same symmetry center. Wavelet frames from any d-refinable function vector are also considered. This paper generalizes the work in [5,12,13] on constructing dual wavelet frames from scalar refinable functions to the multiwavelet case. Examples are provided to illustrate the construction in this paper.     

A new proof of some polynomial inequalities related to pseudo-splines

Pseudo-splines of type I were introduced in [I. Daubechies, B. Han, A. Ron, Z. Shen, Framelets: MRA-based constructions of wavelet frames, Appl. Comput. Harmon. Anal. 14 (2003) 1–46] and [Selenick, Smooth wavelet tight frames with zero moments, Appl. Comput. Harmon. Anal. 10 (2000) 163–181] and type II were introduced in [B. Dong, Z. Shen, Pseudo-splines, wavelets and framelets, Appl. Comput. Harmon. Anal. 22 (2007) 78–104]. Both types of pseudo-splines provide a rich family of refinable functions with B-splines, interpolatory refinable functions and refinable functions with orthonormal shifts as special examples. In [B. Dong, Z. Shen, Pseudo-splines, wavelets and framelets, Appl. Comput. Harmon. Anal. 22 (2007) 78–104], Dong and Shen gave a regularity analysis of pseudo-splines of both types. The key to regularity analysis is Proposition 3.2 in [B. Dong, Z. Shen, Pseudo-splines, wavelets and framelets, Appl. Comput. Harmon. Anal. 22 (2007) 78–104], which also appeared in [A. Cohen, J.P. Conze, Régularité des bases d'ondelettes et mesures ergodiques, Rev. Mat. Iberoamericana 8 (1992) 351–365] and [I. Daubechies, Ten Lectures on Wavelets, CBMS-NSF Series in Applied Mathematics, SIAM, Philadelphia, 1992] for the case l=N−1. In this note, we will give a new insight into this proposition.     

M-Band Burt–Adelson Biorthogonal Wavelets

For every integer M>2 we introduce a new family of biorthogonal MRAs with dilation factor M, generated by symmetric scaling functions with small support. This construction generalizes Burt–Adelson biorthogonal 2-band wavelets. For M{3,4} we are able to find simple explicit expressions for two different families of wavelets associated with these MRAs: one with better localization and the other with interesting symmetry–antisymmetry properties. We study the regularity of our scaling functions by determining their Sobolev exponent, for every value of the parameter and every M. We also study the critical exponent when M=3.     

On cross products of orthonormal systems of functions

The continual analog of an orthonormal system of functions is an orthonormal kernel. In this article the concept of cross product of orthonormal systems of functions is introduced, and it is shown that the cross product of any two orthonormal systems which are complete in L₂ is a complete orthonormal kernel with respect to Lebesgue measure on half-axes. The properties of the cross product of two orthonormal systems which are complete in L₂, each of which is uniformly bounded, are studied, as are the properties of the cross product of a Haar system on an orthonormal system of functions, complete in L₂, which are uniformly bounded.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 13, No. 3, pp. 469–480, March, 1973.     

正交共轭滤波器的构造

It is very importent for generating an orthonormal multiwavelet system to construct a conjugate quadrature filter(CQF). In this paper, a general method of deriving a length-L 1 conjugate quadrature filter from a length-L conjugate quadrature filter and vice versa is obtained. As a special case, we study generally the construction of any length-L 1 compactly supported symmetric-antisymmetric orthonormal multiwavelet system with multiplicity 2 from a length-L multiwavelet system and vice versa. Examples of conjugate quadrature filter are given.     

Compactly Supported Tight Frames Associated with Refinable Functions

It is well known that in applied and computational mathematics, cardinal B-splines play an important role in geometric modeling (in computer-aided geometric design), statistical data representation (or modeling), solution of differential equations (in numerical analysis), and so forth. More recently, in the development of wavelet analysis, cardinal B-splines also serve as a canonical example of scaling functions that generate multiresolution analyses of L²(−∞,∞). However, although cardinal B-splines have compact support, their corresponding orthonormal wavelets (of Battle and Lemarie) have infinite duration. To preserve such properties as self-duality while requiring compact support, the notion of tight frames is probably the only replacement of that of orthonormal wavelets. In this paper, we study compactly supported tight frames Ψ={ψ¹,…,ψ^N} for L²(−∞,∞) that correspond to some refinable functions with compact support, give a precise existence criterion of Ψ in terms of an inequality condition on the Laurent polynomial symbols of the refinable functions, show that this condition is not always satisfied (implying the nonexistence of tight frames via the matrix extension approach), and give a constructive proof that when Ψ does exist, two functions with compact support are sufficient to constitute Ψ, while three guarantee symmetry/anti-symmetry, when the given refinable function is symmetric.     

Cross products of complete orthonormal systems of functions

The orthonormal kernel is a continuous analog for an orthonormal system of functions. The cross product of any two orthonormal systems, complete in L₂, is an example of a complete orthonormal kernel with respect to Lebesgue measure. In this note we continue our study of the properties of the cross product of a Haar system with an arbitrary orthonormal system of functions, complete in L₂, and totally bounded. We investigate certain properties of the cross product of a Haar system with another Haar system.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 15, No. 2, pp. 331–340, February, 1974.The author thanks Professor N. Ya. Vilenkin for helpful discussions during the course of this work.     

Dimension Functions of Orthonormal Wavelets

The article is devoted to dimension functions of orthonormal wavelets on the real line with dyadic dilations. We describe properties of dimension functions and prove several characterization theorems. In addition, we provide a method of construction of dimension functions. Various new examples of dimension functions and orthonormal wavelets are included.     

Nonuniform Multiwavelet Sets and Multiscaling Sets

In this article, we study the theory of nonuniform minimally supported frequency multiwavelets and nonuniform multiscaling sets. A characterization of nonuniform multiwavelet sets is obtained which generalizes a result of Yu and Gabardo. After introducing a notion of generalized nonuniform scaling set, we obtain a characterization of nonuniform multiscaling sets associated with nonuniform multiresolution analysis having finite multiplicity. In addition, we provide a geometric construction to find families of symmetric nonuniform multiwavelet sets.     

Approximate Properties of the de la Vallee Poussin Means for the Discrete Fourier-Jacobi Sums

We consider the system of the classical Jacobi polynomials of degree at most N which generate an orthogonal system on the discrete set of the zeros of the Jacobi polynomial of degree N. Given an arbitrary continuous function on the interval [-1,1], we construct the de la Vallee Poussin-type means for discrete Fourier–Jacobi sums over the orthonormal system introduced above. We prove that, under certain relations between N and the parameters in the definition of de la Vall'ee Poussin means, the latter approximate a continuous function with the best approximation rate in the space C[-1,1] of continuous functions.     

The parameterization of 2-channel orthogonal multifilter banks with some symmetry

For the 2-channel orthogonal multiwavelet systems with symmetric center γ/2, we give the parameterization of the associated multifilter banks, whether γ is odd or even. When γ is odd, we obtain the similar results to Jiang’s, for the case that γ is even, we transform the parameterization of the multifilter banks into the one of the case that γ is odd, then by the previous results and inverse transforms, we derive the corresponding results. Using the parameterization of the multifilter banks, we easily reconstruct the Chui-Lian multiwavelet systems with support [0,2] and [0,3]. Moreover, a new orthogonal multiwavelet system with symmetric center 2 is obtained, and the corresponding multiscaling function has approximation order 2.
