Generalized matrix spectral factorization with symmetry and applications to symmetric quasi-tight framelets (Q6038818)

Motivated by the recent development of quasi-tight framelets [\textit{C. Diao} and \textit{B. Han}, Appl. Comput. Harmon. Anal. 49, No. 1, 123--151 (2020; Zbl 1437.42052)], the authors study and characterize generalized spectral factorizations with symmetry for \(2 \times 2\) matrices of Laurent polynomials. They then use these results to find a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of symmetric quasi--tight framelets with two generators. The proofs of all the main results are constructive and can therefore be used as algorithms. The authors provide several examples to illustrate their theoretical results on generalized matrix spectral factorization and quasi-tight framelets with symmetry. The paper is organized as follows: Section 1 is titled ``Introduction, motivations and main results''. Section 2 briefly reviews some necessary background on framelets, explains the reasons for considering quasi-tight framelets with symmetry and provides some illustrative examples. Section 3 considers two special cases of their main theorem (Theorem 1.1), on the factorization of a \(2 \times 2\) matrix of Laurent polynomials with symmetry, before proving it in full generality. Finally, in Section 4, Theorem 1.1 is used to prove Theorem 1.3, which characterizes quasi-tight framelet filter banks with symmetry, and their associated symmetric quasi-tight framelets in \(L_2(R)\).
