The scaling function corresponding to the Daubechies wavelet with two vanishing moments is used to derive new quadrature formulas. This scaling function has the smallest support among all orthonormal scaling functions with the properties and . So, in this sense, its choice is optimal. Numerical examples are given.
The concepts of Riesz type and cotype of a given Banach space are extended to a non-commutative setting. First, the Banach space is replaced by an operator space. The notion of quantized orthonormal system, which plays the role of an orthonormal system in the classical setting, is then defined. The Fourier type and cotype of an operator space with respect to a non-commutative compact group fit in this context. Also, the quantized analogs of Rademacher and Gaussian systems are treated. All this is...
We consider analogies between the "cut-and-project" method of constructing quasicrystals and the theory of almost periodic functions. In particular an analytic method of constructing almost periodic functions by means of convolution is presented. A geometric approach to critical points of such functions is also shown and illustrated with examples.
