Divergence-free multiwavelets on the half plane (Q402303)

The authors construct compactly supported biorthogonal multiwavelet bases for vector fields on the upper half plane \(\mathbb R^2_+\) such that the reconstruction multiwavelets are divergence-free and have vanishing normal components on the boundary of \(\mathbb R^2_+\) whereas the decomposition multiwavelets are not divergence-free. To achieve this they use and review results by the second author on how to use fractal interpolation to construct biorthogonal multiwavelet bases that satisfy certain commutation relations between oblique multiresolution analysis projections and differentiation. Then these multiwavelets are adapted to \(\mathbb R_+\) and multiwavelet bases in \(L^2(\mathbb R^2_+)\) are composed by tensor products and in \(L^2(\mathbb R^2_+)^2\) componentwise.
