Generalized Matrix Spectral Factorization and Quasi-tight Framelets with Minimum Number of Generators

Abstract

As a generalization of orthonormal wavelets in $L_2(R)$, tight framelets (also called tight wavelet frames) are of importance in wavelet analysis and applied sciences due to their many desirable properties in applications such as image processing and numerical algorithms. Tight framelets are often derived from particular refinable functions satisfying certain stringent conditions. Consequently, a large family of refinable functions cannot be used to construct tight framelets. This motivates us to introduce the notion of a quasi-tight framelet, which is a dual framelet but behaves almost like a tight framelet. It turns out that the study of quasi-tight framelets is intrinsically linked to the problem of the generalized matrix spectral factorization for matrices of Laurent polynomials. In this paper, we provide a systematic investigation on the generalized matrix spectral factorization problem and compactly supported quasi-tight framelets. As an application of our results on generalized matrix spectral factorization for matrices of Laurent polynomials, we prove in this paper that from any arbitrary compactly supported refinable function in $L_2(R)$, we can always construct a compactly supported one-dimensional quasi-tight framelet having the minimum number of generators and the highest possible order of vanishing moments. Our proofs are constructive and supplemented by step-by-step algorithms. Several examples of quasi-tight framelets will be provided to illustrate the theoretical results and algorithms developed in this paper.

On the log-concavity of the composite Bessel function $x^{\alpha}J_{\nu }\left( \beta x^{\gamma}\right) $

For a twice differentiable function $f:\left( a,b\right) \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ define $v\left( f\right) =f^{\prime}f^{\prime}-f^{\prime\prime }f.$ It is well known that the positivity of $v\left( f\right) $ implies that the function $\left\vert f\right\vert $ is strictly log-concave on each subinterval which does not contain zeros of $f.$ In this paper we provide criteria for the positivity of $v\left( F\right) $ for the composite Bessel function $F\left( x\right) =J_{\alpha,\beta,\gamma,\nu}\left( x\right) :=x^{\alpha}J_{\nu}\left( \beta x^{\gamma}\right) $ for positive numbers $\beta$ and $\gamma$ and real numbers $\alpha$ and $\nu.$

Riesz capacity ratios with negative exponents

We investigate sharp inequalities for ratios of Riesz capacities with negative exponents by combining computational experiments with rigorous analysis. For finite subsets of the line, we prove positivity of equilibrium masses when $-1<p<0$, enabling numerical tests of conjectured extremal ratios. In the plane, comparisons of the disk with regular polygon vertex sets reveal a cascade of transitions among the tested competitors and suggest a precise conjecture for the equilibrium measure of odd polygons, for which we give a partial proof. Numerical intersections of equality curves show that the regions where these sets outperform the disk are not simply nested. Similar numerical intersections occur in three dimensions between the regular-simplex equality curve and those of explicit five-point and six-point configurations. Motivated by the dimensional dependence of these comparisons, we prove that for each fixed $p<-2<q<0$, the regular simplex has a larger capacity ratio than the ball in all sufficiently large dimensions. Accompanying Python and Mathematica code supports reproduction and further testing of the conjectures.

Shorter proof of dimension-free $L^p$ estimates for maximal Riesz transforms

We provide a shorter and more direct proof of $L^p$ estimates for maximal Riesz transforms (of an arbitrary order) in terms of the corresponding Riesz transforms, with a constant independent of the dimension of the Euclidean space $\mathbb R^d$. This result was originally proved by Mateu, Orobitg, P\'erez and Verdera with a constant depending on the dimension, and improved to a dimension-free inequality by Kucharski, Wr\'obel and Zienkiewicz.
