Abstract: | Let be the space of functions of bounded variation on with . Let , , be a wavelet system of compactly supported functions normalized in , i.e., , . Each has a unique wavelet expansion with convergence in . If is the set of indicies for which are largest (with ties handled in an arbitrary way), then is called a greedy approximation to . It is shown that with a constant independent of . This answers in the affirmative a conjecture of Meyer (2001). |
