Can the wavelet bispectrum be normalised so that its integral "gives the right answer"?

Fix a rapidly decreasing function $\psi \in \mathcal{S}(\mathbb{R})$ with the properties that $\int_\mathbb{R} \psi = 0$, $\mathrm{Re}(\psi(\cdot))$ is an even function, and $\mathrm{Im}(\psi(\cdot))$ ...

Admissibility condition of wavelet functions

After a badly formulated question, I decided to make a new post searching for help. The basic problem is the follows: I have a wavelet function $\psi(t)$ (real or complex) and would like to compute (a)...

Wavelet characterization of Sobolev spaces

We know that there exist wavelets generating orthonormal bases in Sobolev spaces $W^{p,s}(\mathbb R^n)$, where $p$ is the index of integral and $s$ is the index of smoothness. Consider the orthonormal ...

Is it possible to find an atlas for the set: $\{F:FE = I, E \text{ is a frame for } \mathbb{R}^n\}$

Let $E$ be the matrix whos rows are $ \{e_i^{\top}\}_{i=1}^m$. Let $E$ also be a frame of $m$ elements for $\mathbb{R}^n$, $m \geq n$. This means there exist two constants $A, B > 0$ such that: $$ ...

Continuous wavelet transform of a periodic function

I have a question regarding the Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) of non finite energy functions, such as $g(t) = a\exp(i\omega_0t)$. We know that the CWT is defined for functions in the Hilbert ...

Deriving periodical processes from a finite time series

Suppose we have a finite time series of real-world events measured at $(t_k), k \in \mathbb{N}$ with $(t_{k-1} < t_k)$. The content of the actual events is irrelevant. I would like an automated ...

Example of (not necessarily compactly supported) Hölder continuous wavelet?

In Chapter six of “Ten lectures on wavelets” Daubechies presents a construction of compactly supported Hölder continuous wavelets. However, it seems that those wavelets cannot be represented by some ...

The significant role of dual frames in the progress of Frame theory

For a given frame $\{\zeta_i\}_{i=1}^\infty$, any Bessel sequence $\{\eta_i\}_{i=1}^\infty$ satisfying in the following identity for every $\xi\in H$ $$\xi=\sum_{i=1}^\infty \langle \xi, \eta_i\...

What is the analogue of expansive matrix for automorphisms?

We say an invertible $n \times n$ matrix with entries in $\Bbb R^n$ is expansive if the absolute values of all of its eigenvalues exceed $1$. An easy calculation also shows that if we consider a ball ...

In which sense Daubechies wavelets converge to the Shannon wavelet?

My question is about wavelets theory. Consider $\psi_n$ the Daubechies wavelet of order $n \geq 1$; that is, the Daubechies wavelet with $n$ vanishing moments. We also define the Shannon wavelet in ...

Algorithm for finding eigenfunctions

I have an $ L^2(\mathbb{R}) $ operator that looks like $$ \Omega = \int \partial\phi(a, b)\ \ |b, a\rangle \langle b, a |, $$ where $ \langle x | a, b \rangle = f_a(x - b) e^{x^2/2} $ and $ f_a \in L^...

Reference request: injectivity of CWT, density of dilations and translations in $L^p$

Recently, I encountered the notion of Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT), and I find it very intriguing (for a reference, see the wiki). I believe it offers a different and more general perspective on ...

Characterising wavelet frames using Fourier transform

As usual, for $f\in L^2(\mathbb R)$ $$ D_j(f)(x) = 2^{j/2} f(2^jx), T_k(f)(x) = f(x-k) $$ and let $\{D_j T_k \varphi\}$ be a system of wavelets on $\mathbb R.$ A simple result is that, $T_k \varphi$ ...
