New generalization of orthogonal wavelet bases (Q643844)

\textit{G. Strang} and \textit{V. Strela} [NATO ASI Ser., Ser. C, Math. Phys. Sci. 454, 485--496 (1995; Zbl 0857.65118)] introduced some generalization of the notion of wavelets, considering \(n\) functions \(\psi^1, \psi^2,\dots, \psi^n\) instead of one function \(\psi\), i.e., in their theory the basis of \(L_2(\mathbb R)\) had the form \[ \big\{2^{j/2}\psi^1(2^jx-k), 2^{j/2}\psi^2(2^jx-k),\dots, 2^{j/2}\psi^n(2^jx-k): k,j\in\mathbb Z\big\}. \] In the present paper, the author constructs a new orthonormal basis of \(L_2(\mathbb R)\) in the form \[ \big\{2^{{nj}/2}\psi^1(2^{nj}x-k), 2^{{nj+1}/2}\psi^2(2^{nj+1}x-k),\dots, 2^{{(nj+(n-1))}/2}\psi^n(2^{nj+(n-1)}x-k): k,j\in\mathbb Z\big\}. \] The advantage of this new basis is that the fast algorithms for computing coefficients of expanding a function over such a basis demand less operations than in the work of \textit{G. Strang} and \textit{V. Strela} [loc.\,cit.].
