Geometric multiscale analysis: from wavelets to parabolic molecules

From MaRDI portal





The article discusses several concepts of sparse representation of multivariate functions. First, wavelet systems are introduced. Since an isotropic approach using wavelets is adapted to point out singularities and many phenomena in several variables exhibit also curvilinear singularities, suitable anisotropic systems are needed. In the paper, the requirements on the system are formulated and examples of anisotropic systems, namely shearlets, curvelets and parabolic molecules, are presented. The definition of parabolic molecules is generalized to \(\alpha\)-molecules and it is shown that wavelets are a special case. The framework of shearlets is extended to universal shearlets.
