Wavelets with composite dilations
Kanghui Guo, Demetrio Labate, Wang-Q Lim, Guido Weiss, and Edward Wilson
Abstract.
A wavelet with composite dilations is a function generating
an orthonormal basis or a Parseval frame for $L^2({\mathbb R}^n)$
under the action
of
lattice translations and dilations by products of elements drawn from
non-commuting matrix sets $A$ and $B$. Typically, the members of $B$
are shear matrices
(all eigenvalues are one), while
the members of $A$ are matrices expanding or contracting on a
proper subspace of
${\mathbb R}^n$. These wavelets are of interest in
applications because of their
tendency
to produce ``long, narrow'' window functions well
suited to edge detection. In this paper, we
discuss the remarkable extent to which the theory of wavelets with composite
dilations parallels the theory of classical wavelets,
and present several examples
of such systems.
