An Orthogonal Scaling Vector Generating A Space Of $C^1$ Cubic Splines Using Macroelements, Bruce Kessler Feb 2004

An Orthogonal Scaling Vector Generating A Space Of $C^1$ Cubic Splines Using Macroelements, Bruce Kessler

Mathematics Faculty Publications

The main result of this paper is the creation of an orthogonal scaling vector of four differentiable functions, two supported on $[-1,1]$ and two supported on $[0,1]$, that generates a space containing the classical spline space $\s_{3}^{1}(\Z)$ of piecewise cubic polynomials on integer knots with one derivative at each knot. The author uses a macroelement approach to the construction, using differentiable fractal function elements defined on $[0,1]$ to construct the scaling vector. An application of this new basis in an image compression example is provided.


A Construction Of Compactly-Supported Biorthogonal Scaling Vectors And Multiwavelets On $R^2$, Bruce Kessler Jul 2001

A Construction Of Compactly-Supported Biorthogonal Scaling Vectors And Multiwavelets On $R^2$, Bruce Kessler

Mathematics Faculty Publications

In \cite{K}, a construction was given for a class of orthogonal compactly-supported scaling vectors on $\R^{2}$, called short scaling vectors, and their associated multiwavelets. The span of the translates of the scaling functions along a triangular lattice includes continuous piecewise linear functions on the lattice, although the scaling functions are fractal interpolation functions and possibly nondifferentiable. In this paper, a similar construction will be used to create biorthogonal scaling vectors and their associated multiwavelets. The additional freedom will allow for one of the dual spaces to consist entirely of the continuous piecewise linear functions on a uniform subdivision of the …


A Construction Of Orthogonal Compactly-Supported Multiwavelets On $\R^{2}$, Bruce Kessler Nov 1999

A Construction Of Orthogonal Compactly-Supported Multiwavelets On $\R^{2}$, Bruce Kessler

Mathematics Faculty Publications

This paper will provide the general construction of the continuous, orthogonal, compactly-supported multiwavelets associated with a class of continuous, orthogonal, compactly-supported scaling functions that contain piecewise linears on a uniform triangulation of $\R^2$. This class of scaling functions is a generalization of a set of scaling functions first constructed by Donovan, Geronimo, and Hardin. A specific set of scaling functions and associated multiwavelets with symmetry properties will be constructed.
