Abstract
A multiresolution approximation is a sequence of embedded vector spaces   V j  jmember Z for approximating L 2 (R) functions. We study the properties of a multiresolution approximation and prove that it is characterized by a 2π periodic function which is further described. From any multiresolution approximation, we can derive a function ψ(x) called a wavelet such that   √  2 j ψ(2 j x −k)   (k ,j)member Z 2 is an orthonormal basis of L 2 (R). This provides a new approach for understanding and computing wavelet orthonormal bases. Finally, we characterize the asymptotic decay rate of multiresolution approximation errors for functions in a Sobolev space H s .

On j-self-adjoint extensions of the phillips symmetric operator

TL;DR: In this paper, the concepts of stable and unstable C-symmetry are introduced in the extension theory framework and the main results are the following: if A is a J-self-adjoint extension of S, then either R or C = C, and if A has a real spectrum, then A has stable C symmetry.

Adaptive wavelet-based finite-difference modelling of SH-wave propagation

TL;DR: In this article, an adaptive wavelet-based finite-difference method for 2-D SH-wave propagation modeling is presented, where the wavelet coefficients are extrapolated in time through second-order differencing using a constant time step.

Efficient algorithms to compute Hankel transforms using wavelets

TL;DR: Two efficient algorithms for the numerical evaluation of Hankel transform of order ν, ν > − 1 using Legendre and rationalized Haar (RH) wavelets are proposed, representing F ν ( y ) as a Fourier–Bessel series with coefficients depending strongly on the input function x f ( x ) in both the cases.

A theory for multiresolution signal decomposition: the wavelet representation

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that the difference of information between the approximation of a signal at the resolutions 2/sup j+1/ and 2 /sup j/ (where j is an integer) can be extracted by decomposing this signal on a wavelet orthonormal basis of L/sup 2/(R/sup n/), the vector space of measurable, square-integrable n-dimensional functions.

Decomposition of Hardy functions into square integrable wavelets of constant shape

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied square integrable coefficients of an irreducible representation of the non-unimodular $ax + b$-group and obtained explicit expressions in the case of a particular analyzing family that plays a role analogous to coherent states (Gabor wavelets) in the usual $L_2 $ -theory.
