Spline wavelets on the interval with homogeneous boundary conditions (Q1016132)

This paper addresses an important topic in wavelet analysis: how to construct spline Riesz wavelet bases on the interval with homogeneous boundary conditions in Sobolev spaces. Starting with a pair of B-splines and using a new development of multiresolution analysis, the author presents in Theorems 3 and 4 a fairly general method for constructing spline Riesz wavelets on the unit interval in \(L_2(0,1)\) and Sobolev spaces \(H^\mu_0(0,1)\) with the smoothness index \(\mu>0\) being related to the underlying B-splines. The constructed Riesz wavelets have short supports and high vanishing moments. The constructed wavelets are of interest in several applications and are suitable for numerical solutions of ordinary and partial differential equations.
