A method to analyse and filter real-valued discrete signals of finite duration s(n), n=0,1,...,N-1, where $N=2^p$, p>0, by means of time-frequency representation is presented. This is achieved by defining an invertible discrete transform representing a signal either in the time or in the time-frequency domain, which is based on decomposition of a signal with respect to a system of basic orthonormal discrete wavelet functions. Such discrete wavelet functions are defined using the Meyer generating wavelet...

We show that there are Hilbert spaces constructed from the Hausdorff measures Hs on the real line R with 0 < s < 1 which admit multiresolution wavelets. For the case of the middle-third Cantor set C ⊂ [0,1], the Hilbert space is a separable subspace of L2(R, (dx)s) where s = log3(2). While we develop the general theory of multiresolutions in fractal Hilbert spaces, the emphasis is on the case of scale 3 which covers the traditional Cantor set C.
