Strömberg wavelet


In mathematics, the Strömberg wavelet is a certain orthonormal wavelet discovered by Jan-Olov Strömberg and presented in a paper published in 1983. Even though the Haar wavelet was earlier known to be an orthonormal wavelet, Stromberg wavelet was the first smooth orthonormal wavelet to be discovered. The term wavelet had not been coined at the time of publishing the discovery of Strömberg wavelet and Strömberg's motivation was to find an orthonormal basis for the Hardy spaces.

Definition

Le m be any non-negative integer. Let V be any discrete subset of the set R of real numbers. Then V splits R into non-overlapping intervals. For any r in V, let Ir denote the interval determined by V with r as the left endpoint. Let P denote the set of all functions f over R satisfying the following conditions:
If A0 = ∪ ∪ and A1 = A0 ∪ then the Strömberg wavelet of order m is a function Sm satisfying the following conditions:

Properties of the set ''P''(''m'')(''V'')

The following are some of the properties of the set P:
  1. Let the number of distinct elements in V be two. Then f ∈ P if and only if f = 0 for all t.
  2. If the number of elements in V is three or more than P contains nonzero functions.
  3. If V1 and V2 are discrete subsets of R such that V1 ⊂ V2 then P ⊂ P. In particular, P ⊂ P.
  4. If f ∈ P then f = g + α λ where α is constant and g ∈ P is defined by g = f for r ∈ A0.

    Strömberg wavelet as an orthonormal wavelet

The following result establishes the Strömberg wavelet as an orthonormal wavelet.

Theorem

Let Sm be the Strömberg wavelet of order m. Then the following set
is a complete orthonormal system in the space of square integrable functions over R.

Strömberg wavelets of order 0

In the special case of Strömberg wavelets of order 0, the following facts may be observed:
  1. If f ∈ P0 then f is defined uniquely by the discrete subset of R.
  2. To each s ∈ A0, a special function λs in A0 is associated: It is defined by λs = 1 if r = s and λs = 0 if s ≠ r ∈ A0. These special elements in P are called simple tents. The special simple tent λ1/2 is denoted by λ

    Computation of the Strömberg wavelet of order 0

As already observed, the Strömberg wavelet S0 is completely determined by the set. Using the defining properties of the Strömbeg wavelet, exact expressions for elements of this set can be computed and they are given below.
Here S0 is constant such that ||S0|| = 1.
