Haar Type Orthonomal Wavelet Bases in R2.
We construct the Haar wavelets on a local field K of positive characteristic and show that the Haar wavelet system forms an unconditional basis for , 1 < p < ∞. We also prove that this system, normalized in , is a democratic basis of . This also proves that the Haar system is a greedy basis of for 1 < p < ∞.
We establish new results on the space BV of functions with bounded variation. While it is well known that this space admits no unconditional basis, we show that it is almost characterized by wavelet expansions in the following sense: if a function f is in BV, its coefficient sequence in a BV normalized wavelet basis satisfies a class of weak-l1 type estimates. These weak estimates can be employed to prove many interesting results. We use them to identify the interpolation spaces between BV and Sobolev...
We extend an uncertainty principle due to Beurling into a characterization of Hermite functions. More precisely, all functions f on Rd which may be written as P(x)exp(-(Ax,x)), with A a real symmetric definite positive matrix, are characterized by integrability conditions on the product f(x)f(y). We then obtain similar results for the windowed Fourier transform (also known, up to elementary changes of functions, as the radar ambiguity function or the Wigner transform). We complete the paper with...
We show that almost every function (in the sense of prevalence) in a Sobolev space is multifractal: Its regularity changes from point to point; the sets of points with a given Hölder regularity are fractal sets, and we determine their Hausdorff dimension.
