Periodic Wavelet Frames on Local Fields of Positive Characteristic

Periodic wavelet frames have gained considerable popularity in recent years, primarily due to their substantiated applications in diverse and widespread fields of science and engineering. In this article, we introduce the concept of periodic wavelet frame on local fields of positive characteristic and show that under weaker conditions the periodization of any wavelet frame constructed by the unitary extension principle with dilation factor 𝔭^?1 is a periodic wavelet frame on local fields. Moreover, based on the mixed extension principle and Fourier-based techniques of the wavelet frames, we present an explicit method for a pair of dual periodic wavelet frames on local fields of positive characteristic.     

On Characterization of Nonuniform Tight Wavelet Frames on Local Fields

In this article, we introduce a notion of nonuniform wavelet frames on local fields of positive characteristic. Furthermore, we gave a complete characterization of tight nonuniform wavelet frames on local fields of positive characteristic via Fourier transform. Our results also hold for the Cantor dyadic group and the Vilenkin groups as they are local fields of positive characteristic.     

A Characterization of MRA Based Wavelet Frames Generated by the Walsh Polynomials

Extension Principles play a significant role in the construction of MRA based wavelet frames and have attracted much attention for their potential applications in various scientific fields. A novel and simple procedure for the construction of tight wavelet frames generated by the Walsh polynomials using Extension Principles was recently considered by Shah in [Tight wavelet frames generated by the Walsh poly-nomials, Int. J. Wavelets, Multiresolut. Inf. Process., 11(6) (2013), 1350042]. In this paper, we establish a complete characterization of tight wavelet frames generated by the Walsh polynomials in terms of the polyphase matrices formed by the polyphase components of the Walsh polynomials.     

The necessary condition and sufficient conditions for wavelet frame on local fields

In the paper entitled “Multiresolution analysis on local fields” [H.K. Jiang, D.F. Li, N. Jin, Multiresolution analysis on local fields, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 294 (2) (2004) 523-532], we establish the orthonormal wavelet construction from multiresolution analysis on local fields. The objective of this paper is to construct wavelet frame on local fields. A necessary condition and four sufficient conditions for wavelet frame on local fields are given. An example is presented at the end.     

Directional Frames for Image Recovery: Multi-scale Discrete Gabor Frames

Sparsity-driven image recovery methods assume that images of interest can be sparsely approximated under some suitable system. As discontinuities of 2D images often show geometrical regularities along image edges with different orientations, an effective sparsifying system should have high orientation selectivity. There have been enduring efforts on constructing discrete frames and tight frames for improving the orientation selectivity of tensor product real-valued wavelet bases/frames. In this paper, we studied the general theory of discrete Gabor frames for finite signals, and constructed a class of discrete 2D Gabor frames with optimal orientation selectivity for sparse image approximation. Besides high orientation selectivity, the proposed multi-scale discrete 2D Gabor frames also allow us to simultaneously exploit sparsity prior of cartoon image regions in spatial domain and the sparsity prior of textural image regions in local frequency domain. Using a composite sparse image model, we showed the advantages of the proposed discrete Gabor frames over the existing wavelet frames in several image recovery experiments.     

Explicit constructions and properties of generalized shift-invariant systems in $L^{2}(\mathbb {R})$

Generalized shift-invariant (GSI) systems, originally introduced by Hernández et al. and Ron and Shen, provide a common frame work for analysis of Gabor systems, wavelet systems, wave packet systems, and other types of structured function systems. In this paper we analyze three important aspects of such systems. First, in contrast to the known cases of Gabor frames and wavelet frames, we show that for a GSI system forming a frame, the Calderón sum is not necessarily bounded by the lower frame bound. We identify a technical condition implying that the Calderón sum is bounded by the lower frame bound and show that under a weak assumption the condition is equivalent with the local integrability condition introduced by Hernández et al. Second, we provide explicit and general constructions of frames and dual pairs of frames having the GSI-structure. In particular, the setup applies to wave packet systems and in contrast to the constructions in the literature, these constructions are not based on characteristic functions in the Fourier domain. Third, our results provide insight into the local integrability condition (LIC).     

A constructive approach to the finite wavelet frames over prime fields

In this article, we present a constructive method for computing the frame coefficients of finite wavelet frames over prime fields using tools from computational harmonic analysis and group theory.     

Wavelet frames and shift-invariant subspaces of periodic functions

A general approach based on polyphase splines, with analysis in the frequency domain, is developed for studying wavelet frames of periodic functions of one or higher dimensions. Characterizations of frames for shift-invariant subspaces of periodic functions and results on the structure of these subspaces are obtained. Starting from any multiresolution analysis, a constructive proof is provided for the existence of a normalized tight wavelet frame. The construction gives the minimum number of wavelets required. As an illustration of the approach developed, the one-dimensional dyadic case is further discussed in detail, concluding with a concrete example of trigonometric polynomial wavelet frames.     

Construction of two-direction tight wavelet frames

We investigate the construction of two-direction tight wavelet frames First, a sufficient condition for a two-direction refinable function generating two-direction tight wavelet frames is derived. Second, a simple constructive method of two-direction tight wavelet frames is given. Third, based on the obtained two-direction tight wavelet frames, one can construct a symmetric multiwavelet frame easily. Finally, some examples are given to illustrate the results.     

On extensions of wavelet systems to dual pairs of frames

It is an open problem whether any pair of Bessel sequences with wavelet structure can be extended to a pair of dual frames by adding a pair of singly generated wavelet systems. We consider the particular case where the given wavelet systems are generated by the multiscale setup with trigonometric masks and provide a positive answer under extra assumptions. We also identify a number of conditions that are necessary for the extension to dual (multi-) wavelet frames with any number of generators, and show that they imply that an extension with two pairs of wavelet systems is possible. Along the way we provide examples that demonstrate the extra flexibility in the extension to dual pairs of frames compared with the more popular extensions to tight frames.     

Geometrical grouplets

Grouplet orthogonal bases and tight frames are constructed with association fields that group points to take advantage of geometrical image regularities in space or time. These association fields have a multiscale geometry that can incorporate multiple junctions. A fast grouplet transform is computed with orthogonal multiscale hierarchical groupings. A grouplet transform applied to wavelet image coefficients defines an orthogonal basis or a tight frame of grouping bandlets. Applications to noise removal and image zooming are described.     

On the Orthogonality of Frames and the Density and Connectivity of Wavelet Frames

We examine some recent results of Bownik on density and connectivity of the wavelet frames. We use orthogonality (strong disjointness) properties of frame and Bessel sequences, and also properties of Bessel multipliers (operators that map wavelet Bessel functions to wavelet Bessel functions). In addition we obtain an asymptotically tight approximation result for wavelet frames.     

Super-Wavelets and Decomposable Wavelet Frames

A wavelet frame is called decomposable whenever it is equivalent to a superwavelet frame of length greater than one. Decomposable wavelet frames are closely related to some problems on super-wavelets. In this article we first obtain some necessary or sufficient conditions for decomposable Parseval wavelet frames. As an application of these conditions, we prove that for each n > 1 there exists a Parseval wavelet frame which is m-decomposable for any 1 < m ≤ n, but not k-decomposable for any k > n. Moreover, there exists a super-wavelet whose components are non-decomposable. Similarly we also prove that for each n > 1, there exists a Parseval wavelet frame that can be extended to a super-wavelet of length m for any 1 < m ≤ n, but can not be extended to any super-wavelet of length k with k > n. The connection between decomposable Parseval wavelet frames and super-wavelets is investigated, and some necessary or sufficient conditions for extendable Parseval wavelet frames are given.     

An Algebraic Perspective on Multivariate Tight Wavelet Frames

Recent advances in real algebraic geometry and in the theory of polynomial optimization are applied to answer some open questions in the theory of multivariate tight wavelet frames whose generators have at least one vanishing moment. Namely, several equivalent formulations of the so-called Unitary Extension Principle (UEP) are given in terms of Hermitian sums of squares of certain nonnegative Laurent polynomials and in terms of semidefinite programming. These formulations merge recent advances in real algebraic geometry and wavelet frame theory and lead to an affirmative answer to the long-standing open question of the existence of tight wavelet frames in dimension d=2. They also provide, for every d, efficient numerical methods for checking the existence of tight wavelet frames and for their construction. A class of counterexamples in dimension d=3 show that, in general, the so-called sub-QMF condition is not sufficient for the existence of tight wavelet frames. Stronger sufficient conditions for determining the existence of tight wavelet frames in dimension d≥3 are derived. The results are illustrated on several examples.

Tight wavelet frames for irregular multiresolution analysis

An important tool for the construction of tight wavelet frames is the Unitary Extension Principle first formulated in the Fourier-domain by Ron and Shen. We show that the time-domain analogue of this principle provides a unified approach to the construction of tight frames based on many variations of multiresolution analyses, e.g., regular refinements of bounded L-shaped domains, refinements of subdivision surfaces around irregular vertices, and nonstationary subdivision. We consider the case of nonnegative refinement coefficients and develop a fully local construction method for tight frames. Especially, in the shift-invariant setting, our construction produces the same tight frame generators as the Unitary Extension Principle.     

Bessel sequences,wavelet frames,duals and extensions

From the perspectives of duality and extensions, Gabor frames and wavelet frames have contrasting behaviour. Our chief concern here is about duality. Canonical duals of wavelet frames may not be wavelet frames, whereas canonical duals of Gabor frames are Gabor frames. Keeping these in view, we give several constructions of wavelet frames with wavelet canonical duals. For this, a simple characterisation of Bessel sequences and a general commutativity result are given, the former also leading naturally to some extension results.

On Dual Wavelet Tight Frames

A characterization of multivariate dual wavelet tight frames for any general dilation matrix is presented in this paper. As an application, Lawton's result on wavelet tight frames inL²( ) is generalized to then-dimensional case. Two ways of constructing certain dual wavelet tight frames inL²( ⁿ) are suggested. Finally, examples of smooth wavelet tight frames inL²( ) andH²( ) are provided. In particular, an example is given to demonstrate that there is a function ψ whose Fourier transform is positive, compactly supported, and infinitely differentiable which generates a non-MRA wavelet tight frame inH²( ).
