Generalized prolate spheroidal wave functions for offset linear canonical transform in Clifford analysis

Prolate spheroidal wave functions (PSWFs) possess many remarkable properties. They are orthogonal basis of both square integrable space of finite interval and the Paley–Wiener space of bandlimited functions on the real line. No other system of classical orthogonal functions is known to obey this unique property. This raises the question of whether they possess these properties in Clifford analysis. The aim of the article is to answer this question and extend the results to more flexible integral transforms, such as offset linear canonical transform. We also illustrate how to use the generalized Clifford PSWFs (for offset Clifford linear canonical transform) we derive to analyze the energy preservation problems. Clifford PSWFs is new in literature and has some consequences that are now under investigation. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Constructing prolate spheroidal quaternion wave functions on the sphere

Over the last years, considerable attention has been paid to the role of the prolate spheroidal wave functions (PSWFs) introduced in the early sixties by D. Slepian and H.O. Pollak to many practical signal and image processing problems. The PSWFs and their applications to wave phenomena modeling, fluid dynamics, and filter design played a key role in this development. In this paper, we introduce the prolate spheroidal quaternion wave functions (PSQWFs), which refine and extend the PSWFs. The PSQWFs are ideally suited to study certain questions regarding the relationship between quaternionic functions and their Fourier transforms. We show that the PSQWFs are orthogonal and complete over two different intervals: the space of square integrable functions over a finite interval and the three‐dimensional Paley–Wiener space of bandlimited functions. No other system of classical generalized orthogonal functions is known to possess this unique property. We illustrate how to apply the PSQWFs for the quaternionic Fourier transform to analyze Slepian's energy concentration problem. We address all of the aforementioned and explore some basic facts of the arising quaternionic function theory. We conclude the paper by computing the PSQWFs restricted in frequency to the unit sphere. The representation of these functions in terms of generalized spherical harmonics is explicitly given, from which several fundamental properties can be derived. As an application, we provide the reader with plot simulations that demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

High-Order Orthonormal Scaling Functions and Wavelets Give Poor Time-Frequency Localization

For a fairly general class of orthonormal scaling functions and wavelets with regularity exponents n, we prove that the areas of the time-frequency windows tend to infinity as n → ∞. This class includes those of Battle-Lemarie and Daubechies. In addition, if the scaling functions have at least asymptotic linear phase, then we prove that they converge to the "sinc" function and their corresponding orthonormal wavelets converge to the "difference" of two sinc functions.     

High-Frequency Asymptotic Expansions for Certain Prolate Spheroidal Wave Functions

Prolate Spheroidal Wave Functions (PSWFs) are a well-studied subject with applications in signal processing, wave propagation, antenna theory, etc. Originally introduced in the context of separation of variables for certain partial differential equations, PSWFs became an important tool for the analysis of band-limited functions after the famous series of articles by Slepian et al. The popularity of PSWFs seems likely to increase in the near future, as band-limited functions become a numerical (as well as an analytical) tool.     

The construction of wavelets from generalized conjugate mirror filters in

The classical constructions of wavelets and scaling functions from conjugate mirror filters are extended to settings that lack multiresolution analyses. Using analogues of the classical filter conditions, generalized mirror filters are defined in the context of a generalized notion of multiresolution analysis. Scaling functions are constructed from these filters using an infinite matrix product. From these scaling functions, non-MRA wavelets are built, including one whose Fourier transform is infinitely differentiable on an arbitrarily large interval.     

The Wavelet Element Method Part II. Realization and Additional Features in 2D and 3D

The Wavelet Element Method (WEM) provides a construction of multiresolution systems and biorthogonal wavelets on fairly general domains. These are split into subdomains that are mapped to a single reference hypercube. Tensor products of scaling functions and wavelets defined on the unit interval are used on the reference domain. By introducing appropriate matching conditions across the interelement boundaries, a globally continuous biorthogonal wavelet basis on the general domain is obtained. This construction does not uniquely define the basis functions but rather leaves some freedom for fulfilling additional features. In this paper we detail the general construction principle of the WEM to the 1D, 2D, and 3D cases. We address additional features such as symmetry, vanishing moments, and minimal support of the wavelet functions in each particular dimension. The construction is illustrated by using biorthogonal spline wavelets on the interval.     

On convergence rates of prolate interpolation and differentiation

Prolate spheroidal wave functions of order zero (PSWFs) are widely used in scientific computation. There are few results about the error bounds of the prolate interpolation and differentiation. In this paper, based on the Cauchy’s residue theorem and asymptotics of PSWFs, the convergence rates are derived. To get stable approximation, the first barycentric formula is applied. These theoretical results and high accuracy are illustrated by numerical examples.     

有限区间内四阶样条小波的构造

用有限区间上的截断4阶B样条,构造了有限区间上的4阶样条小波。这些小波由边界小波和内部小波组成,对某一尺度,它们组成了有限维的小波空间。于是,任何有限区间上的函数皆可表示为该区间上的尺度函数和小波函数的有限和,即小波级数,这克服了用无穷区间上的小波进行有限信号处理时,在边界上误差较大的不足,同时将该小波用于偏微分方程具有同样重要的意义。     

Daubechies compactly supported wavelets with minimal heisenberg boxes

The centers and radii of orthonormal scaling functions and wavelets are found in time and frequency domains using a two-scale relation. All compactly supported orthogonal wavelets with support on the interval [0, 3] fail to have radii in the frequency domain. On the other hand, a Daubechies wavelet with support on the interval [0, 3] has optimal resolution in the frequency domain. Vilnius University, Naugarduko 24, 2006 Vilnius, Lithuania.

Generalized Prolate Spheroidal Wave Functions: Spectral Analysis and Approximation of Almost Band-Limited Functions

In this work, we first give various explicit and local estimates of the eigenfunctions of a perturbed Jacobi differential operator. These eigenfunctions generalize the famous classical prolate spheroidal wave functions (PSWFs), founded in 1960s by Slepian and his co-authors and corresponding to the case \(\alpha =\beta =0.\) They also generalize the new PSWFs introduced and studied recently in Wang and Zhang (Appl Comput Harmon Anal 29:303–329, 2010), denoted by GPSWFs and corresponding to the case \(\alpha =\beta .\) The main content of this work is devoted to the previous interesting special case \(\alpha =\beta >- 1.\) In particular, we give further computational improvements, as well as some useful explicit and local estimates of the GPSWFs. More importantly, by using the concept of a restricted Paley–Wiener space, we relate the GPSWFs to the solutions of a generalized energy maximisation problem. As a consequence, many desirable spectral properties of the self-adjoint compact integral operator associated with the GPSWFs are deduced from the rich literature of the PSWFs. In particular, we show that the GPSWFs are well adapted for the spectral approximation of the classical c-band-limited as well as almost c-band-limited functions. Finally, we provide the reader with some numerical examples that illustrate the different results of this work.     

Construction of orthonormal wavelets using Kampé de Fériet functions

One of the main aims of this paper is to bridge the gap between two branches of mathematics, special functions and wavelets. This is done by showing how special functions can be used to construct orthonormal wavelet bases in a multiresolution analysis setting. The construction uses hypergeometric functions of one and two variables and a generalization of the latter, known as Kampé de Fériet functions. The mother wavelets constructed by this process are entire functions given by rapidly converging power series that allow easy and fast numerical evaluation. Explicit representation of wavelets facilitates, among other things, the study of the analytic properties of wavelets.

     

Construction of optimally conditioned cubic spline wavelets on the interval

The paper is concerned with a construction of new spline-wavelet bases on the interval. The resulting bases generate multiresolution analyses on the unit interval with the desired number of vanishing wavelet moments for primal and dual wavelets. Both primal and dual wavelets have compact support. Inner wavelets are translated and dilated versions of well-known wavelets designed by Cohen, Daubechies, and Feauveau. Our objective is to construct interval spline-wavelet bases with the condition number which is close to the condition number of the spline wavelet bases on the real line, especially in the case of the cubic spline wavelets. We show that the constructed set of functions is indeed a Riesz basis for the space L ² ([0, 1]) and for the Sobolev space H ^s ([0, 1]) for a certain range of s. Then we adapt the primal bases to the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions of the first order and the dual bases to the complementary boundary conditions. Quantitative properties of the constructed bases are presented. Finally, we compare the efficiency of an adaptive wavelet scheme for several spline-wavelet bases and we show a superiority of our construction. Numerical examples are presented for the one-dimensional and two-dimensional Poisson equations where the solution has steep gradients.     

Wavelet bases of Hermite cubic splines on the interval

In this paper a pair of wavelets are constructed on the basis of Hermite cubic splines. These wavelets are in C¹ and supported on [−1,1]. Moreover, one wavelet is symmetric, and the other is antisymmetric. These spline wavelets are then adapted to the interval [0,1]. The construction of boundary wavelets is remarkably simple. Furthermore, global stability of the wavelet basis is established. The wavelet basis is used to solve the Sturm–Liouville equation with the Dirichlet boundary condition. Numerical examples are provided. The computational results demonstrate the advantage of the wavelet basis. Dedicated to Dr. Charles A. Micchelli on the occasion of his 60th birthday Mathematics subject classifications (2000) 42C40, 41A15, 65L60. Research was supported in part by NSERC Canada under Grants # OGP 121336.     

Prolate spheroidal wave functions on a disc—Integration and approximation of two-dimensional bandlimited functions

We consider the problem of integrating and approximating 2D bandlimited functions restricted to a disc by using 2D prolate spheroidal wave functions (PSWFs). We derive a numerical scheme for the evaluation of the 2D PSWFs on a disc, which is the basis for the numerical implementation of the presented quadrature and approximation schemes. Next, we derive a quadrature formula for bandlimited functions restricted to a disc and give a bound on the integration error. We apply this quadrature to derive an approximation scheme for such functions. We prove a bound on the approximation error and present numerical results that demonstrate the effectiveness of the quadrature and approximation schemes.     

The construction of plane elastomechanics and Mindlin plate elements of B-spline wavelet on the interval

Based on two-dimensional tensor product B-spline wavelet on the interval (BSWI), a class of C0 type plate elements is constructed to solve plane elastomechanics and moderately thick plate problems. Instead of traditional polynomial interpolation, the scaling functions of two-dimensional tensor product BSWI are employed to form the shape functions and construct BSWI elements. Unlike the process of direct wavelets adding in the previous work, the elemental displacement field represented by the coefficients of wavelets expansions is transformed into edges and internal modes via the constructed transformation matrix in this paper. The method combines the versatility of the conventional finite element method (FEM) with the accuracy of B-spline functions approximation and various basis functions for structural analysis. Some numerical examples are studied to demonstrate the proposed method and the numerical results presented are in good agreement with the closed-form or traditional FEM solutions.     

On the construction of wavelets on a bounded interval

This paper presents a general approach to a multiresolution analysis and wavelet spaces on the interval [–1, 1]. Our method is based on the Chebyshev transform, corresponding shifts and the discrete cosine transformation (DCT). For the wavelet analysis of given functions, efficient decomposition and reconstruction algorithms are proposed using fast DCT-algorithms. As examples for scaling functions and wavelets, polynomials and transformed splines are considered.     

Representing Superoscillations and Narrow Gaussians with Elementary Functions

A simple addition to the collection of superoscillatory functions is constructed, in the form of a square-integrable sinc function which is band-limited yet in some intervals oscillates faster than its highest Fourier component. Two parameters enable tuning of the local frequency of the superoscillations and the length of the interval over which they occur. Away from the superoscillatory intervals, the function rises to exponentially large values. An integral transform generates other band-limited functions with arbitrarily narrow peaks that are locally Gaussian. In the (delicate) limit of zero width, these would be Dirac delta-functions, which by superposition could enable construction of band-limited functions with arbitrarily fine structure.     

Anisotropic curl-free wavelet bases on the unit cube

This paper deals with the construction of anisotropic curl-free wavelets on the cube [0, 1]³, which satisfies the specific boundary conditions. First, one constructs curl-free wavelets on the unit cube based on one dimensional wavelets on the interval [0, 1] with some boundary conditions. Then, the stability of the corresponding wavelets in curl-free space and the characterization of Sobolev spaces are studied. Finally, one gives a Helmholtz decomposition and the representation of curl and div operators in wavelet coordinates.
