A new method of connecting two wavelet sets with a continuous path of wavelet sets is given. The method is based on a pure set theoretic fact known as the Schroder-Cantor-Bernstein theorem and on a characterization of wavelet sets in terms of one-to-one measurable bijections of [0,1) satisfying some extra conditions.
W. C. Lang determined wavelets on Cantor dyadic group by using Multiresolution analysis method. In this paper we have given characterization of wavelet sets on Cantor dyadic group providing another method for the construction of wavelets. All the wavelets originating from wavelet sets are not necessarily associated with a multiresolution analysis. Relation between multiresolution analysis and, wavelets determined from wavelet sets is established along with relevant examples.
For Vilenkin group only the existence of multiwavelets associated with multiresolution analysis (MRA) is known. In this paper, we have shown that by using wavelet sets we can also construct single wavelet in case of Vilenkin group which are not associated with MRA.We have given characterization of single and multi-wavelet sets on Vilenkin group. Further, we have studied generalized scaling sets, some of their properties and relation between wavelet sets and generalized scaling sets.
Wavelet and frames have become a widely used tool in mathematics, physics, and applied science during the last decade. This article gives an overview over some well known results about the continuous and discrete wavelet transforms and groups acting on $\mathbb{R}^n$. We also show how this action can give rise to wavelets, and in particular, MSF wavelets)in $L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)$.
Most of the examples of wavelet sets are for dilation sets which are groups. We find a necessary and sufficient condition under which subspace wavelet sets exist for dilation sets of the form $A B$, which are not necessarily groups. We explain the construction by a few examples.
Single wavelet sets, and thus single wavelets, are shown to exist for the actions of all crystallographic groups on $\mathbb R^2$ under all integer dilations. Examples of such sets satisfying the additional requirement that they are finite unions of convex sets are presented for each of the groups under dilation by two.
We give a detailed description of the local commutant approach to wavelet theory using operator algebraic methods. We include a new result on interpolation pairs of wavelet sets: Every pair in the generalized Journe family of wavelet sets is an interpolation pair. In the last section, we give a discussion of several open problems on wavelets and frame-wavelets.
A traditional wavelet is a special case of a vector in a separable Hilbert space that generates a basis under the action of a system of unitary operators defined in terms of translation and dilation operations. A Coxeter/fractal-surface wavelet is obtained by defining fractal surfaces on foldable figures, which tesselate the embedding space by reflections in their bounding hyperplanes instead of by translations along a lattice. Although both theories look different at their onset, there exist connections and communalities which are exhibited in this semi-expository paper. In particular, there …
In these lecture notes we present connections between the theory of iterated function systems, in particular those attractors that are graphs of multivariate real-valued fractal functions, foldable figures and affine Weyl groups, and wavelet sets.
Wavelet sets that are finite unions of convex sets are constructed in $\mathbb R^n$, $n\geq 2$, for dilation by any expansive matrix that has a power equal to a scalar times the identity and also has all singular values greater than $\sqrt n$. In particular, we produce simple wavelet sets in any dimension for dilation by any real scalar greater than 1.
A wavelet is a special case of a vector in a separable Hilbert space that generates a basis under the action of a collection, or system, of unitary operators. We will describe the operator-interpolation approach to wavelet theory using the local commutant of a system. This is really an abstract application of the theory of operator algebras to wavelet theory. The concrete applications of this method include results obtained using specially constructed families of wavelet sets. A frame is a sequence of vectors in a Hilbert space which is a compression of a basis for a larger space. This is not …
We introduce a method to construct large classes of MSF wavelets of the Hardy space H^2(\R) and symmetric MSF wavelets of L^2(\R), and discuss the classification of such sets. As application, we show that there are uncountably many wavelet sets of L^2(\R) and H^2(\R). We also enumerate all symmetric wavelets of L^2(\R) with at most three intervals in the positive axis as well as 3-interval wavelet sets of H^2(\R). Finally, we construct families of MSF wavelets of L^2(\R) whose Fourier transform does not vanish in any neighbourhood of the origin.
This paper is devoted to the study of geometry properties of wavelet and Riesz wavelet sets on locally compact abelian groups. The catalyst for our research is a result by Wang ([32], Theorem 1.1) in the Euclidean wavelet theory. Here, we extend the result to wavelet and Riesz wavelet collection of sets in infinite locally compact abelian groups.
It is proven that if an interpolation map between two wavelet sets preserves the union of the sets, then the pair must be an interpolation pair. We also construct an example of a pair of wavelet sets for which the congruence domains of the associated interpolation map and its inverse are equal, and yet the pair is not an interpolation pair. The first result solves affirmatively a problem that the second author had posed several years ago, and the second result solves an intriguing problem of D. Han. The key to this counterexample is a special technical lemma on constructing wavelet sets. Sever…
We prove that any Parseval wavelet frame is the projection of an orthonormal wavelet basis for a representation of the Baumslag-Solitar group $$BS(1,2)=< u,t | utu^{-1}=t^2>.$$ We give a precise description of this representation in some special cases, and show that for wavelet sets, it is related to symbolic dynamics. We show that the structure of the representation depends on the analysis of certain finite orbits for the associated symbolic dynamics. We give concrete examples of Parseval wavelets for which we compute the orthonormal dilations in detail; we show that there are examples of Par…
Generalizing earlier results about the set of idempotents in a Banach algebra, or of self-adjoint idempotents in a $C^*$-algebra, we announce constructions of nice connecting paths in the connected components of the set of elements in a Banach algebra, or of self-adjoint elements in a $C^*$-algebra, that satisfy a given polynomial equation, without multiple roots. In particular, we will prove that in the Banach algebra case every such non-central element lies on a complex line, all of whose points satisfy the given equation. We also formulate open questions.
We study singly-generated wavelet systems on $\Bbb R^2$ that are naturally associated with rank-one wavelet systems on the Heisenberg group $N$. We prove a necessary condition on the generator in order that any such system be a Parseval frame. Given a suitable subset $I$ of the dual of $N$, we give an explicit construction for Parseval frame wavelets that are associated with $I$. We say that $g\in L^2(I\times \Bbb R)$ is Gabor field over $I$ if, for a.e. $λ\in I$, $|λ|^{1/2} g(λ,\cdot)$ is the Gabor generator of a Parseval frame for $L^2(\Bbb R)$, and that $I$ is a Heisenberg wavelet set if ev…
Let $q\geq 2$ be an integer, and $\Bbb F_q^d$, $d\geq 1$, be the vector space over the cyclic space $\Bbb F_q$. The purpose of this paper is two-fold. First, we obtain sufficient conditions on $E \subset \Bbb F_q^d$ such that the inverse Fourier transform of $1_E$ generates a tight wavelet frame in $L^2(\Bbb F_q^d)$. We call these sets (tight) wavelet frame sets. The conditions are given in terms of multiplicative and translational tilings, which is analogous with Theorem 1.1 ([20]) by Wang in the setting of finite fields. In the second part of the paper, we exhibit a constructive method for o…
In this article we show that there exist measurable sets W in the plane with finite measure that tile the plane in a measurable way under the action of a expansive matrix A, an affine Weyl group W, and a full rank lattice G. This note is follow-up research to the earlier article "Coxeter groups and wavelet sets" by the first and second authors, and is also relevant to the earlier article "Coxeter groups, wavelets, multiresolution and sampling" by M. Dobrescu and the third author. After writing these two articles, the three authors participated in a workshop at the Banff Center on "Operator met…
Let $a$, $b$ be two fixed non-zero constants. A measurable set $E\subset \mathbb{R}$ is called a Weyl-Heisenberg frame set for $(a, b)$ if the function $g=χ_{E}$ generates a Weyl-Heisenberg frame for $L^2(\mathbb{R})$ under modulates by $b$ and translates by $a$, i.e., $\{e^{imbt}g(t-na\}_{m,n\in\mathbb{Z}}$ is a frame for $L^2(\mathbb{R})$. It is an open question on how to characterize all frame sets for a given pair $(a,b)$ in general. In the case that $a=2π$ and $b=1$, a result due to Casazza and Kalton shows that the condition that the set $F=\bigcup_{j=1}^{k}([0,2π)+2n_{j}π)$ (where $\{n_…
In this paper we use the concept of wavelet sets as introduced by X. Dai and D. Larson, to decompose the wavelet representation of the discrete group associated to an arbitrary $n \times n$ integer dilation matrix as a direct integral of irreducible monomial representations. In so doing we generalize a result of F. Martin and A. Valette in which they show that the wavelet representation is weakly equivalent to the regular representation for the Baumslag-Solitar groups.
We consider the problem of characterizing the wavefront set of a tempered distribution $u\in\mathcal{S}'(\mathbb{R}^{d})$ in terms of its continuous wavelet transform, where the latter is defined with respect to a suitably chosen dilation group $H\subset{\rm GL}(\mathbb{R}^{d})$. In this paper we develop a comprehensive and unified approach that allows to establish characterizations of the wavefront set in terms of rapid coefficient decay, for a large variety of dilation groups. For this purpose, we introduce two technical conditions on the dual action of the group $H$, called microlocal admis…
In this document we study the local path connectivity of sets of $m$-tuples of commuting normal matrices with some additional geometric constraints in their joint spectra. In particular, given $\varepsilon>0$ and any fixed but arbitrary $m$-tuple $\mathbf{X}\in {M_n(\mathbb{C})}^m$ in the set of $m$-tuples of pairwise commuting normal matrix contractions, we prove the existence of paths between arbitrary $m$-tuples in the intersection of the previously mentioned sets of $m$-tuples in ${M_n(\mathbb{C})}^m$ and the $δ$-ball $B_ð(\mathbf{X},δ)$ centered at $\mathbf{X}$ for some $δ>0$, with respec…
