A characterization of dimension functions of wavelets

From MaRDI portal





A finite set \(\Psi = \{ \psi^1, \ldots, \psi^L \} \subset L^2(R^d)\) is called an orthonormal multiwavelet, if the collection NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\{ \psi^l_{j,k} (x) = |\det A|^{j/2} \psi^l (A^j x-k) : j\in Z,\;k \in Z^d,\;l=1, \ldots, L \}NEWLINE\]NEWLINE forms an orthonormal basis for \(L^2(R^d)\). Here, \(A\) is an expansive matrix which preserves \(Z^d\). The dimension function of such a multiwavelet is defined as NEWLINE\[NEWLINED_\Psi (\xi) = \sum_{l=1}^L \sum_{j=1}^\infty \sum_{k\in Z^d} |\widehat \psi^l (B^j(\xi+k))|^2,NEWLINE\]NEWLINE where \(B=A^T\). NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEIt is well known that dimension functions are measurable, nonnegative, \(Z^d\)-periodic and integer-valued. In this paper the authors provide a full characterization of all dimension functions, by adding to the above properties the following conditions: NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\int_{(-1/2,1/2]^d} D(\xi) d\xi = L/(q-1), \quad \text{where }q = |\det A|,\tag{1}NEWLINE\]NEWLINE NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\liminf_{n\to \infty} D(B^{-n}\xi) \geq 1,\tag{2}NEWLINE\]NEWLINE NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\sum_{k \in Z^d} \chi_\Delta(\xi+k) \geq D(\xi), \text{ a.e. for }\Delta = \{ \xi \in R^d: D(B^{-j}\xi) \geq 1;\;j\in N\cup\{0\} \},\tag{3}NEWLINE\]NEWLINE NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\sum_{d\in {\mathcal D}} D(\xi+B^{-1}d) = D(B\xi)+L, \quad \text{a.e.} .\tag{4}NEWLINE\]NEWLINE Here, \({\mathcal D}= \{d_1, \dots, d_q \}\) denotes the set of representatives of \(Z^d/BZ^d\), with \(d_1=0\). NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEThe authors further study the properties of the dimension function using these characterizing conditions, and provide several examples of wavelets for given dimension functions. In particular, they show that for any dimension function \(D\), there exists an MSF wavelet whose dimension function is \(D\).
