New Stable Biorthogonal Spline-Wavelets on the Interval

In this paper we present the construction of new stable biorthogonal spline-wavelet bases on the interval [0, 1] for arbitrary choice of spline-degree. As starting point, we choose the well-known family of compactly supported biorthogonal spline-wavelets presented by Cohen, Daubechies and Feauveau. Firstly, we construct biorthogonal MRAs (multiresolution analysis) on [0, 1]. The primal MRA consists of spline-spaces concerning equidistant, dyadic partitions of [0, 1], the so called Schoenberg-spline bases. Thus, the full degree of polynomial reproduction is preserved on the primal side. The construction, that we present for the boundary scaling functions on the dual side, guarantees the same for the dual side. In particular, the new boundary scaling functions on both, the primal and the dual side have staggered supports. Further, the MRA spaces satisfy certain Jackson-and Bernstein-inequalities, which lead by general principles to the result, that the associated wavelets are in fact L(2) ([0, 1])-stable. The wavelets however are computed with aid of the method of stable completion. Due to the compact support of all occurring functions, the decomposition and reconstruction transforms can be implemented efficiently with sparse matrices. We also illustrate how bases with complementary or homogeneous boundary conditions can be easily derived from our construction.
