Random wavelet series based on a tree-indexed Markov chain (Q2517951)

In some papers concerning wavelets the coefficients are implicity assumed to be independent of one another and the exposed methods are based on scalar transformations on each wavelet coefficient of the considered signal. Since the wavelet coefficients of many real-world signals exhibit some correlations, methods that exploit depedences between wavelet cefficients yield better results in the applications. In order to develop such methods it was introduced the Hidden Marcov Tree (HMT) model. The author defines the model of random wavelet series and investigates the pointwise regularity properties of the sample paths of the model which is related to the HMT model. He determines the law of the spectrum of singularities of these series, performing their multifractal analysis. He also shows that almost every sample path displays an oscillating singularity at almost every point.
