Abstract: It is well-known that curvelets provide optimal approximations for so-called cartoon images which are defined as piecewise C2-functions, separated by a C2 singularity curve. In this paper, we consider the more general case of piecewise -functions, separated by a singularity curve for . We first prove a benchmark result for the possibly achievable best N-term approximation rate for this more general signal model. Then we introduce what we call alpha-curvelets, which are systems that interpolate between wavelet systems on the one hand (alpha=1) and curvelet systems on the other hand (alpha=frac12). Our main result states that those frames achieve this optimal rate for , up to log-factors.
