On approximation with spline generated framelets (Q1885346)

The authors characterize the approximation spaces associated with the best \(n\)-term approximation in \(L_p(\mathbb{R})\) \((1< p<\infty)\) by elements from a tight wavelet frame with an underlying multiresolution structure generated by a B-spline. It is proved that these approximation spaces are interpolation spaces between \(L_p(\mathbb{R})\) and classical Besov spaces. Furthermore, it is shown that, under certain conditions, the Besov smoothness can be measured in terms of the sparsity of expansions in the wavelet frame.
