Download or read book Wavelets, Vibrations and Scalings written by Yves Meyer and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1998 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the relevance of wavelet analysis to problems in which self-similarities are important. Among the conclusions drawn are the following: 1) a weak form of self-similarity can be given a simple characterization through size estimates on wavelet coefficients, and 2) Wavelet bases can be tuned in order to provide a sharper characterization of this self-similarity.
