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 .

Singularity analysis based on wavelet transform of fractal measures for identifying geochemical anomaly in mineral exploration

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the wavelet approximation operator provides a generalization of box-counting method for scaling analysis of geochemical patterns and acts as the generalized density-value in density-area fractal modeling of singular geochemical distributions.

Identifying the multiscale impacts of crude oil price shocks on the stock market in China at the sector level

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the multiscale dynamic linkages between crude oil price and the stock market in China at the sector level and found that there are bidirectional Granger causality relationships between most of the sector stock indices and the crude oil prices in the short, medium and long terms, except for those in the health, utility and consumption sectors.

Local reproducible smoothing without shrinkage

TL;DR: A simple local smoothing filter is defined for curves or surfaces, combining the advantages of Gaussian smoothing and Fourier curve description and the wavelet transform of Y. Meyer (1989) is also shown to have these properties.

Multiscale Geometric Methods for Data Sets II: Geometric Multi-Resolution Analysis

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors construct data-dependent multi-scale dictionaries that aim at efficient encoding and manipulating of the data, where data points are guaranteed to have a sparse representation in terms of the dictionary.

The Continuous Wavelet Transform and Variable Resolution Time-Frequency Analysis

TL;DR: In this paper, the continuous wavelet transform is presented and its frequency resolution is derived analytically and shown to depend exclusively on one parameter that should be carefully selected in constructing a variable resolution time-frequency distribution for a given signal.

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.
