Using the mother wavlet $phi$ one obtains an orthonormal basis $\phi_{j,k}(x):=2^{j/2}\,\phi(2^j\,x-k)$of L^2 (on the unit interval say). Given a function $f$ on can calculate the coefficients using the $L^2$ inner product. For the Fourier series on can use the discrete fourier transform to do this. How can the discrete wavlet transform be used to calculate the coefficients, here? Does anyone know a good reference?

Thanks,

  • $\begingroup$ In the way you stated the question it is to vague: I think if you would make it more precise, then it will attract more attention. $\endgroup$ May 4, 2012 at 19:14

The best reference I found was www2.isye.gatech.edu/~brani/wp/kidsA.pdf

Still not completly satisfactory since the discrete Wavlet transform of the Wavelet psi funciton should just yield one nonzero coefficient.

Take a look also at a nice paper "Discrete Wavelet Transformations and Undergraduate Education" at http://www.ams.org/notices/201105/rtx110500656p.pdf.
