Density of the Set of Generators of Wavelet Systems

Given a function $ψ$ in $ \LL^2(\R^d)$, the affine (wavelet) system generated by $ψ$, associated to an invertible matrix $a$ and a lattice $\zG$, is the collection of functions $\{|\det a|^{j/2} ψ(a^jx-γ): j \in \Z, γ\in \zG\}$. In this article we prove that the set of functions generating affine systems that are a Riesz basis of $ \LL^2(\R^d)$ is dense in $ \LL^2(\R^d)$. We also prove that a stronger result is true for affine systems that are a frame of $ \LL^2(\R^d)$. In this case we show that the generators associated to a fixed but arbitrary dilation are a dense set. Furthermore, we analyze the orthogonal case in which we prove that the set of generators of orthogonal (not necessarily complete) affine systems, that are compactly supported in frequency, are dense in the unit sphere of $ \LL^2(\R^d)$ with the induced metric. As a byproduct we introduce the $p$-Grammian of a function and prove a convergence result of this Grammian as a function of the lattice. This result gives insight in the problem of oversampling of affine systems.

Refinable shift invariant spaces in R^d

Let $ϕ: \R^d \longrightarrow \C$ be a compactly supported function which satisfies a refinement equation of the form $ϕ(x) = \sum_{k\inΛ} c_k ϕ(Ax - k),\quad c_k\in\C$, where $Γ\subset\R^d$ is a lattice, $Λ$ is a finite subset of $Γ$, and $A$ is a dilation matrix. We prove, under the hypothesis of linear independence of the $Γ$-translates of $ϕ$, that there exists a correspondence between the vectors of the Jordan basis of a finite submatrix of $L=[c_{Ai-j}]_{i,j\inΓ}$ and a finite dimensional subspace $\mathcal H$ in the shift invariant space generated by $ϕ$. We provide a basis of $\mathcal H$ and show that its elements satisfy a property of homogeneity associated to the eigenvalues of $L$. If the function $ϕ$ has accuracy $κ$, this basis can be chosen to contain a basis for all the multivariate polynomials of degree less than $κ$. These latter functions are associated to eigenvalues that are powers of the eigenvalues of $A^{-1}$. Further we show that the dimension of $\mathcal H$ coincides with the local dimension of $ϕ$, and hence, every function in the shift invariant space generated by $ϕ$ can be written locally as a linear combination of translates of the homogeneous functions.

Local bases for refinable spaces

We provide a new representation of a refinable shift invariant space with a compactly supported generator, in terms of functions with a special property of homogeneity. In particular these functions include all the homogeneous polynomials that are reproducible by the generator, what links this representation to the accuracy of the space. We completely characterize the class of homogeneous functions in the space and show that they can reproduce the generator. As a result we conclude that the homogeneous functions can be constructed from the vectors associated to the spectrum of the scale matrix (a finite square matrix with entries from the mask of the generator). Furthermore, we prove that the kernel of the transition operator has the same dimension than the kernel of this finite matrix. This relation provides an easy test for the linear independence of the integer translates of the generator. This could be potentially useful in applications to approximation theory, wavelet theory and sampling.

Variations on the Theme of Journe's Lemma

Journe's Lemma is a critical component of many questions related to the product ${BMO}$ theory of S.-Y. Chang and R. Fefferman. This article presents several different variants of the Lemma, some known, some implicit in the literature, and some new.
