Mexican hat wavelet transform and its applications (Q2230433)

This paper considers the Mexican hat wavelet which is one of the basic wavelet functions defined by the second derivative of a Gaussian function. The mexican hat wavelet is considered the most suitable mother wavelet function in many research papers. In this paper the Mexican hat wavelet theory (MHWT) is used to define the Mexican hat wavelet Stieltjes transform (MHWST) of a bounded variation function which can analyze both continuous and discrete-time signals. Further, the authors develop some necessary and sufficient conditions for representing functions as MHWT and MHWST. The introduction of a new representation of the wavelet transform and its relation with the Hilbert transform, fractional integral operators, and the Watson transform are used to derive certain roundedness results, approximation results, and some general Parseval formula for the wavelet transform. The authors provide a sufficient number of recent references. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1471.93009].
