Given a mother wavelet, an orthogonal family of wavelets can be obtained by properly choosing a= am 0 and b= nb0, where mand nare integers, a0 >1 is a dilation parameter, and b0 >0 is a translation parameter. To ensure that wavelets ψa,b, for fixed a, “cover” f(x) in a similar manner as mincreases, we choose b0 = βam 0. For rapid ...
