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 .

Multiresolution Wavelet Based Adaptive Numerical Dissipation Control for High Order Methods

TL;DR: To minimize the tuning of parameters and physical problem dependence, new sensors with improved detection properties are proposed, derived from utilizing appropriate non-orthogonal wavelet basis functions and they can be used to completely switch off the extra numerical dissipation outside shock layers.

Isometries, shifts, Cuntz algebras and multiresolution wavelet analysis of scale N

TL;DR: In this article, the wavelets originating from multiresolution analysis of scaleN give rise to certain representations of the Cuntz algebras, and conversely the wavelet can be recovered from these representations.

Wavelets and pre-wavelets in low dimensions

TL;DR: Chui et al. as mentioned in this paper consider multiresolutions generated by suitable compactly supported and symmetric functions ϑ and explicitly construct 2s − 1 compactly-supported functions such that the translates ϑμ(· − j), j∈ Z s, μ ϵ Z 2s⧹ 0, are an unconditional basis for W0.

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.
