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 .

Streamflow Forecasting Using Four Wavelet Transformation Combinations Approaches with Data-Driven Models: A Comparative Study

TL;DR: It was found that CWT improved the forecasting accuracy of models which only included the rainfall and temperature but not the streamflow, and a new proposed combination of CWT and DWT, namely discrete continuous wavelet transformation (DCWT) improved the performance dramatically for the models with streamflow.

Automatic extraction and identification of chart patterns towards financial forecast

TL;DR: An algorithm is presented, PXtract, to automate the recognition process of possible irregularities underlying the time series of stock data, which makes dynamic use of different time windows, and exploits the potential of wavelet multi-resolution analysis and radial basis function neural networks for the matching and identification of these irregularities.

Characterization of scaling functions in a multiresolution analysis

TL;DR: In this article, the scaling functions of a multiresolution analysis are characterized in a general context, where instead of the dyadic dilation, the dilation given by a fixed linear map A: R n → R n such that A(Z n ) ⊂ Z and all (complex) eigenvalues of A have absolute value greater than 1.

Nonuniform Multiresolution Analysis on Local Fields of Positive Characteristic

TL;DR: In this paper, a generalization of Mallat's theory of multiresolution analysis (MRA) on local fields of positive characteristic was considered and the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of associated wavelets were obtained.

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.
