Density order of Parseval wavelet frames from extension principles (Q822727)

The paper studies Parseval frames relying on multiresolution-based wavelet systems both with respect to existence and to approximation properties of the corresponding expansions. The arguments of the paper rely on the ``oblique extension principle'' as formulated, e.g. in [\textit{I. Daubechies} et al., Appl. Comput. Harmon. Anal. 14, No. 1, 1--46 (2003; Zbl 1035.42031)]. This concept generalizes the ``unitary extension principle'', formulated also in the reference above, which may be traced back to the techniques described in [\textit{I. Daubechies} et al., J. Math. Phys. 27, 1271--1283 (1986; Zbl 0608.46014)]. These kind of principles basically rely on refinable masks such that multiscale versions of wavelets generated my these masks are supported on all of Fourier space. In the present paper the oblique extension principle is used to construct Wavelet Parseval Frames, the approximation properties of the resulting expansions are described by suitable quasi-projection-operators \(P_j\). They generalize projections onto the scale spaces \(V_j\), which have been introduced in the framework of Multiresolution Analysis based on orthonormal wavelet bases. The approximation and density properties of the frame expansions are given in corollaries 1 and 2 of the paper. In its present stage the analysis is restricted to self-dual Parseval frames, i.e., the dictionaries used for analysis and synthesis are identical.
