Wavelet bases for confinements of the infrared divergence (Q1021406)

The construction of wavelet bases with pseudo-polynomials adapted to the homogeneous Sobolev spaces \(\dot{H}^{s}(\mathbb{R}^{n}), s - n/2\in \mathbb N\) is proposed. This basis is constructed from a Daubechies wavelet basis. A confinement of the infrared divergence via an adapted wavelet analysis is obtained. It means that \(\dot{H}^{s}(\mathbb{R}^{n})\) is decomposed as a direct sum \(X \oplus Y\) where \(X\) is a ``small'' space which carries the divergence and \(Y\) can be embedded in \(\mathcal {S}'(\mathbb{R}^{n})\). An orthonormal basis is constructed in the case of \(\dot{H}^{1}(\mathbb{R}^{2})\). This basis provides an optimal confinement of the Mumford process. It is not a wavelet basis. The possibility to obtain an orthonormal wavelet basis made of compactly supported functions is discussed.
