Abstract: We introduce an extension of continuous wavelet theory that enables an efficient implementation of multiplicative operators in the coefficient space. In the new theory, the signal space is embedded in a larger abstract signal space -- the so called window-signal space. There is a canonical extension of the wavelet transform to an isometric isomorphism between the window-signal space and the coefficient space. Hence, the new framework is called a wavelet-Plancherel theory, and the extended wavelet transform is called the wavelet-Plancherel transform. Since the wavelet-Plancherel transform is an isometric isomorphism, any operation in the coefficient space can be pulled-back to an operation in the window-signal space. It is then possible to improve the computational complexity of methods that involve a multiplicative operator in the coefficient space, by performing all computations directly in the window-signal space. As one example application, we show how continuous wavelet multipliers (also called Calder'{o}n-Toeplitz Operators), with polynomial symbols, can be implemented with linear complexity in the resolution of the 1D signal. As another example, we develop a framework for efficiently computing greedy sparse approximations to signals based on elements of continuous wavelet systems.
