The canonical and alternate duals of a wavelet frame (Q2381654): Difference between revisions

It is well known that the canonical dual frame associated with a wavelet frame might not have the wavelet structure. The authors prove that even if there exist dual frames having the wavelet structure, it does not imply that the canonical dual frame has wavelet structure. In fact, they prove the existence of a function \(\psi\in L^2(\mathbb R)\) (for which \(\widehat{\psi}\in C_c^\infty\)) with the property that it generates a dyadic wavelet frame, having infinitely many dual wavelet frames; however, the canonical dual is not a wavelet system generated by a single function. This result was claimed in the paper [\textit{I. Daubechies}, and \textit{B. Han}, Appl. Comput. Harmon. Anal. 12, No. 3, 269--285 (2002; Zbl 1013.42023)], but with a mistake in the proof.
