Title: Redundant Wavelet Frame Systems From Refinable Functions

Abstract:

Wavelet frames and dual/tight wavelet frames are redundant wavelet systems which preserve many desirable properties of their corresponding well-known non-redundant wavelet systems: Riesz wavelet bases and (bi)orthogonal wavelet bases. In general, wavelet bases are derived from specific refinable functions by multiresulition analyses. However, not every refinable function can be used to derive a non-redundant wavelet system and the concrete procedure to design such systems is far from straightforward and painless. In this talk, we shall demonstrate that things are much easier for redundant wavelet systems. We shall first give an example to illustrate that the canonical dual frame of a wavelet frame may not have the desirable wavelet structure, while the wavelet frame can still have dual frames with wavelet structure. Then we shall discuss how to derive dual/tight wavelet frames from any refinable functions. We shall demonstrate that for any refinable function, a family of wavelet frames with explicit and simple expressions can be easily derived and such wavelet frames can have any preassigned order of vanishing moments. Examples of wavelet frames and dual/tight wavelet frames derived from the B-spline functions will be presented to illustrate the general theory.
