Smooth Wavelet Tight Frames with Zero Moments
Abstract
This paper considers the design of wavelet tight frames based on iterated oversampled filter banks. The greater design freedom available makes possible the construction of wavelets with a high degree of smoothness, in comparison with orthonormal wavelet bases. In particular, this paper takes up the design of systems that are analogous to Daubechies orthonormal wavelets - that is, the design of minimal length wavelet filters satisfying certain polynomial properties, but now in the oversampled case. Gröbner bases are used to obtain the solutions to the nonlinear design equations.

Note: It turns out these wavelet frames can be obtained with methods that are simpler than Grobner bases. See the double-density DWT.
