The connection between derivative operators and wavelets is well known. Here we generalize the concept by constructing multiresolution approximations and wavelet basis functions that act like Fourier multiplier operators. This construction follows from a stochastic model: signals are tempered distributions such that the application of a whitening (differential) operator results in a realization of a sparse white noise. Using wavelets constructed from these operators, the sparsity of the white noise can be inherited by the wavelet coefficients. In this paper, we specify such wavelets in full generality and determine their properties in terms of the underlying operator.
Here we present a method of constructing steerable wavelet frames in $L_2(mathbb{R}^d)$ that generalizes and unifies previous approaches, including Simoncellis pyramid and Riesz wavelets. The motivation for steerable wavelets is the need to more accurately account for the orientation of data. Such wavelets can be constructed by decomposing an isotropic mother wavelet into a finite collection of oriented mother wavelets. The key to this construction is that the angular decomposition is an isometry, whereby the new collection of wavelets maintains the frame bounds of the original one. The general method that we propose here is based on partitions of unity involving spherical harmonics. A fundamental aspect of this construction is that Fourier multipliers composed of spherical harmonics correspond to singular integrals in the spatial domain. Such transforms have been studied extensively in the field of harmonic analysis, and we take advantage of this wealth of knowledge to make the proposed construction practically feasible and computationally efficient.
In this paper, we prove an $L^2-L^2-L^2$ decay estimate for a trilinear oscillatory integral of convolution type in $mathbb{R}^d,$ which recovers the earlier result of Li (2013) when $d=1.$ We discuss the sharpness of our result in the $d=2$ case. Our main hypothesis has close connections to the property of simple nondegeneracy studied by Christ, Li, Tao and Thiele (2005).
Adjacent dyadic systems are pivotal in analysis and related fields to study continuous objects via collections of dyadic ones. In our prior work (joint with Jiang, Olson and Wei) we describe precise necessary and sufficient conditions for two dyadic systems on the real line to be adjacent. Here we extend this work to all dimensions, which turns out to have many surprising difficulties due to the fact that $d+1$, not $2^d$, grids is the optimal number in an adjacent dyadic system in $mathbb{R}^d$. As a byproduct, we show that a collection of $d+1$ dyadic systems in $mathbb{R}^d$ is adjacent if and only if the projection of any two of them onto any coordinate axis are adjacent on $mathbb{R}$. The underlying geometric structures that arise in this higher dimensional generalization are interesting objects themselves, ripe for future study; these lead us to a compact, geometric description of our main result. We describe these structures, along with what adjacent dyadic (and $n$-adic, for any $n$) systems look like, from a variety of contexts, relating them to previous work, as well as illustrating a specific example.
In this article, we establish the Fefferman-Stein inequalities for the Dunkl maximal operator associated with a finite reflection group generated by the sign changes. Similar results are also given for a large class of operators related to Dunkls analysis.
We show that, if $bin L^1(0,T;L^1_{mathrm{loc}}(mathbb{R}))$ has spatial derivative in the John-Nirenberg space $mathrm{BMO}(mathbb{R})$, then it generalizes a unique flow $phi(t,cdot)$ which has an $A_infty(mathbb R)$ density for each time $tin [0,T]$. Our condition on the map $b$ is optimal and we also get a sharp quantitative estimate for the density. As a natural application we establish a well-posedness for the Cauchy problem of the transport equation in $mathrm{BMO}(mathbb R)$.
