On the exact values of coefficients of coiflets (Q2425559): Difference between revisions

A new construction of orthogonal compactly supported wavelets for which the scaling function also exhibits vanishing moments, so-called coiflets, is presented. A redundant free and simplified system of necessary conditions allows the derivation of exact values of the scaling coefficients for coiflets up to filter length 8 and two further with filter length 12 in closed form. For coiflets up to filter length 14 two quadratic equations of two variables are obtained, which can be transformed into polynomials of degree 4. Hence an algebraic formula of the solutions can be obtained in closed form. Filter coefficients for coiflets up to length 12 can be found in the paper. Orthogonality of the scaling functions has be checked using the Lawton criterion. [cf. \textit{W. M. Lawton}, J. Math. Phys. 32, No.~1, 57--61 (1991; Zbl 0757.46012)] Sobolev exponents of the wavelets are also given. The devised method is limited to coiflets up to length 20.
