Balanced Scaling Vectors Using Linear Combinations Of Existing Scaling Vectors, Bruce Kessler

Mathematics Faculty Publications

The majority of the research done into creating balanced multiwavelets has involved establishing a series of conditions on the mask of the new scaling vector by solving a large nonlinear system. The result is a completely different new function vector solution to the dilation equation with the new matrix coefficients. The research presented here will show a way to use previously-constructed orthonormal scaling vectors to generate equivalent orthonormal scaling vectors that are balanced up to the approximation order of the previous scaling vector. The technique uses linear combinations of the integer translates of the previous-constructed scaling vector.
