Abstract

We propose a constructive method to find compactly supported orthonormal wavelets for any given compactly supported scaling function &phis; in the multivariate setting. For simplicity, we start with a standard dilation matrix 2I2×2 in the bivariate setting and show how to construct compactly supported functions ψ1,. . .,ψn with n>3 such that {2kψj(2kx−l,2kym), k,l,mZ, j=1,. . .,n} is an orthonormal basis for L2(ℜ2). Here, n is dependent on the size of the support of &phis;. With parallel processes in modern computer, it is possible to use these orthonormal wavelets for applications. Furthermore, the constructive method can be extended to construct compactly supported multi-wavelets for any given compactly supported orthonormal multi-scaling vector. Finally, we mention that the constructions can be generalized to the multivariate setting.
