Multiresolution Analysis Filters and Mathieu's Equation
Wavelets are denoted by and scaling functions by, with corresponding spectra and, respectively.
The equation, which is known as the dilation or refinement equation, is the chief relation determining a Multiresolution Analysis (MRA).
is the transfer function of the smoothing filter.
is the transfer function of the detail filter.
The transfer function of the "detail filter" of a Mathieu wavelet is
The transfer function of the "smoothing filter" of a Mathieu wavelet is
The characteristic exponent should be chosen so as to guarantee suitable initial conditions, i.e. and, which are compatible with wavelet filter requirements. Therefore, must be odd.
The magnitude of the transfer function corresponds exactly to the modulus of an elliptic-sine:
Examples of filter transfer function for a Mathieu MRA are shown in the figure 2. The value of a is adjusted to an eigenvalue in each case, leading to a periodic solution. Such solutions present a number of zeroes in the interval .
The G and H filter coefficients of Mathieu MRA can be expressed in terms of the values of the Mathieu function as:
There exist recurrence relations among the coefficients:
for, m odd.
It is straightforward to show that, .
Normalising conditions are and .

Famous quotes containing the words analysis, filters and/or equation:
“The spider-mind acquires a faculty of memory, and, with it, a singular skill of analysis and synthesis, taking apart and putting together in different relations the meshes of its trap. Man had in the beginning no power of analysis or synthesis approaching that of the spider, or even of the honey-bee; but he had acute sensibility to the higher forces.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“Raise a million filters and the rain will not be clean, until the longing for it be refined in deep confession. And still we hear, If only this nation had a soul, or, Let us change the way we trade, or, Let us be proud of our region.”
—Leonard Cohen (b. 1934)
“Jail sentences have many functions, but one is surely to send a message about what our society abhors and what it values. This week, the equation was twofold: female infidelity twice as bad as male abuse, the life of a woman half as valuable as that of a man. The killing of the woman taken in adultery has a long history and survives today in many cultures. One of those is our own.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
