Tail behavior of Mexican needlets (Q342900)

Mexican needlets are a class of wavelets defined on an \(n\)-dimensional sphere. They are very well localized in space. In the paper of Durastanti, the relationship between the tail decay of Mexican needlets and the exact shape of their weight function is investigated. An upper bound for the wavelets is expressed in terms of Hermite polynomials of a chosen degree \(2s\), \(s\in\mathbb N\) being the shape parameter, and a chosen scale parameter~\(B>1\). The results are limited to the case of the two-dimensional sphere, but more general than those known so far in the sense that the shape parameter can be any natural number (former only \(s=1\)). Further, the author establishes bounds on the \(L^p\)-norms of the Mexican needlets, depending on the resolution level and the scale parameter. Moreover, an explicit connection between Mexican needlets with different shapes is provided by means of the spherical Laplacian operator. The paper is well-structured and well-written, all the necessary definitions and results are presented, it contains numerous literature hints, the proofs are exact and clear.
