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 .

Near-optimal construction of wavelet networks for nonlinear system modeling

TL;DR: A shrinking technique has been developed to delete some of the wavelet nodes to make the whole wavelet network as compact a size as possible, and in this sense, this paper can approach a near-optimal model within prescribed error tolerance.

Riesz wavelets and multiresolution structures

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the core subspace is shift invariant if and only if the wavelet is a biorthogonal wavelet and if it is a Riesz wavelet.

Wavelet Neural Modeling for Hydrologic Time Series Forecasting with Uncertainty Evaluation

TL;DR: Several key issues should be carefully considered for obtaining more reasonable probabilistic forecasting results by the proposed approach, including choice of proper likelihood function, accurate wavelet decomposition of series, and determination of proper wavelet neural structure.

Shearlet Multiresolution and Multiple Refinement

TL;DR: This work presents an entirely digital approach to shearlet multiresolution which is not a discretization of the continuous transform but is naturally connected to the filtering of discrete data, the usual procedure in digital signal processing.

Spectral characteristic of geomagnetically induced current during geomagnetic storms by wavelet techniques

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the remarkable ability of wavelets to highlight the singularities associated with discontinuities present in the GIC signal associated with four geomagnetic storms and found distinct periodicities at the time when H component highly perturbed.

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.

TL;DR: It is shown that it is possible to design tree-structured analysis/reconstruction systems which meet the sampling rate condition and which result in exact reconstruction of the input signal.

Analysis of sound patterns through wavelet transforms

TL;DR: The main features of so-called wavelet transforms are illustrated through simple mathematical examples and the first applications of the method to the recognition and visualisation of characteristic features of speech and of musical sounds are presented.
