A stability criterion for biorthogonal wavelet bases and their related subband coding scheme (Q1210428)

It is shown that in the consideration of bi-orthogonal (and non- orthogonal) wavelets, a pair of dual filters does not necessarily lead to a pair of stable bi-orthogonal wavelet bases. The objective of this paper is to derive a stability criterion in terms of the action under a so- called transition operator and its dual. The criterion is that the spectra of both operators lie inside the unit circle.
