## Multiwavelets

In Chapter: A multiresolution formulation of Wavelet Systems , we introduced the multiresolution analysis for the space of ${L}^{2}$ functions, where we have a set of nesting subspaces

$\left\{0\right\}\subset \cdots \subset {V}_{-2}\subset {V}_{-1}\subset {V}_{0}\subset {V}_{1}\subset {V}_{2}\subset \cdots \subset {L}^{2},$

where each subspace is spanned by translations of scaled versions of a single scaling function $\phi$ ; e.g.,

${V}_{j}=\underset{k}{\mathrm{Span}}\left\{{2}^{j/2}\phi \left({2}^{j}t-k\right)\right\}.$

The direct difference between nesting subspaces are spanned by translations of asingle wavelet at the corresponding scale; e.g.,

${W}_{j}={V}_{j+1}\ominus {V}_{j}=\underset{k}{\mathrm{Span}}\left\{{2}^{j/2}\psi \left({2}^{j}t-k\right)\right\}.$

There are several limitations of this construction. For example, nontrivial orthogonal wavelets can not be symmetric. To avoid this problem, we generalizedthe basic construction, and introduced multiplicity- $M$ ( $M$ -band) scaling functions and wavelets in [link] , where the difference spaces are spanned by translationsof $M\phantom{\rule{-0.166667em}{0ex}}-\phantom{\rule{-0.166667em}{0ex}}1$ wavelets. The scaling is in terms of the power of $M$ ; i.e.,

${\phi }_{j,k}\left(t\right)={M}^{j/2}\phi \left({M}^{j}t-k\right).$

In general, there are more degrees of freedom to design the M-band wavelets. However, the nested $V$ spaces are still spanned by translations of a single scaling function.It is the multiwavelets that removes the above restriction, thus allowing multiple scaling functions to span the nested $V$ spaces [link] , [link] , [link] . Although it is possible to construct $M$ -band multiwavelets, here we only present results on the two-band case, as most of the researches in theliterature do.

## Construction of two-band multiwavelets

Assume that ${V}_{0}$ is spanned by translations of $R$ different scaling functions ${\phi }_{i}\left(t\right)$ , $i=1,...,R$ . For a two-band system, we define the scaling and translation of these functions by

${\phi }_{i,j,k}\left(t\right)={2}^{j/2}{\phi }_{i}\left({2}^{j}t-k\right).$

The multiresolution formulation implies

${V}_{j}=\underset{k}{\mathrm{Span}}\left\{{\phi }_{i,j,k}\left(t\right):i=1,...,R\right\}.$

We next construct a vector scaling function by

$\text{Φ}\left(t\right)={\left[{\phi }_{1},\left(t\right),,,...,,,{\phi }_{R},\left(t\right)\right]}^{T}.$

Since ${V}_{0}\subset {V}_{1}$ , we have

$\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\text{Φ}\left(t\right)=\sqrt{2}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}\sum _{n}\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}H\left(n\right)\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}\text{Φ}\left(2t-n\right)$

where $H\left(k\right)$ is a $R×R$ matrix for each $k\in \mathbf{Z}$ . This is a matrix version of the scalar recursive equation [link] . The first and simplest multiscaling functions probably appear in [link] , and they are shown in [link] .

The first scaling function ${\phi }_{1}\left(t\right)$ is nothing but the Haar scaling function,and it is the sum of two time-compressed and shifted versions of itself, as shown in [link] (a). The second scaling function can be easilydecomposed into linear combinations of time-compressed and shifted versions of the Haar scaling function and itself, as

${\phi }_{2}\left(t\right)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}{\phi }_{1}\left(2t\right)+\frac{1}{2}{\phi }_{2}\left(2t\right)-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}{\phi }_{1}\left(2t-1\right)+\frac{1}{2}{\phi }_{2}\left(2t-1\right).$

Putting the two scaling functions together, we have

$\left[\begin{array}{c}{\phi }_{1}\left(t\right)\\ {\phi }_{2}\left(t\right)\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc}1& 0\\ \sqrt{3}/2& 1/2\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{c}{\phi }_{1}\left(2t\right)\\ {\phi }_{2}\left(2t\right)\end{array}\right]+\left[\begin{array}{cc}1& 0\\ -\sqrt{3}/2& 1/2\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{c}{\phi }_{1}\left(2t-1\right)\\ {\phi }_{2}\left(2t-1\right)\end{array}\right].$

Further assume $R$ wavelets span the difference spaces; i.e.,

${W}_{j}={V}_{j+1}\ominus {V}_{j}=\underset{k}{\mathrm{Span}}\left\{{\psi }_{i,j,k}\left(t\right):i=1,...,R\right\}.$

Since ${W}_{0}\subset {V}_{1}$ for the stacked wavelets $\Psi \left(t\right)$ there must exist a sequence of $R×R$ matrices $G\left(k\right)$ , such that

$\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\Psi \left(t\right)=\sqrt{2}\phantom{\rule{0.277778em}{0ex}}\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}\sum _{k}\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}G\left(k\right)\phantom{\rule{0.166667em}{0ex}}\text{Φ}\left(2t-k\right)$

These are vector versions of the two scale recursive equations [link] and [link] .

We can also define the discrete-time Fourier transform of $H\left(k\right)$ and $G\left(k\right)$ as

$\mathbf{H}\left(\text{ω}\right)=\sum _{k}H\left(k\right){e}^{i\text{ω}k},\phantom{\rule{2.em}{0ex}}\mathbf{G}\left(\text{ω}\right)=\sum _{k}G\left(k\right){e}^{i\text{ω}k}.$

## Approximation, regularity and smoothness

Recall from Chapter: Regularity, Moments, and Wavelet System Design that the key to regularity and smoothness is having enough number of zeros at $\pi$ for $H\left(\text{ω}\right)$ . For multiwavelets, it has been shown that polynomials can be exactly reproduced by translatesof $\text{Φ}\left(t\right)$ if and only if $\mathbf{H}\left(\text{ω}\right)$ can be factored in special form [link] , [link] , [link] . The factorization is used to study the regularity and convergence of refinablefunction vectors [link] , and to construct multi-scaling functions with approximation and symmetry [link] . Approximation and smoothness of multiple refinable functions are also studied in [link] , [link] , [link] .

Do somebody tell me a best nano engineering book for beginners?
what is fullerene does it is used to make bukky balls
are you nano engineer ?
s.
fullerene is a bucky ball aka Carbon 60 molecule. It was name by the architect Fuller. He design the geodesic dome. it resembles a soccer ball.
Tarell
what is the actual application of fullerenes nowadays?
Damian
That is a great question Damian. best way to answer that question is to Google it. there are hundreds of applications for buck minister fullerenes, from medical to aerospace. you can also find plenty of research papers that will give you great detail on the potential applications of fullerenes.
Tarell
what is the Synthesis, properties,and applications of carbon nano chemistry
Mostly, they use nano carbon for electronics and for materials to be strengthened.
Virgil
is Bucky paper clear?
CYNTHIA
so some one know about replacing silicon atom with phosphorous in semiconductors device?
Yeah, it is a pain to say the least. You basically have to heat the substarte up to around 1000 degrees celcius then pass phosphene gas over top of it, which is explosive and toxic by the way, under very low pressure.
