Tech Examinations, September 2013 EC4033 WAVELET THEORY Problem Set 1 Answer all the questions 1. Denitions: P is a parity operator for arbitrary functions if s P s : (P s) = s(t). Similarly for functions over the (b, a) half-plane T with b R and a > 0, the parity operator P is dened as T PT : (PT )(b, a) = T (b, a). Based on these denitions do the following: (a) If is a wavelet and f a function in L2 (R), show that i. WP (P f ) = P W (f ) ii. WP (f ) = W (P f ) (b) Show that the continuous wavelet transform of an i. odd function with respect to an odd wavelet is even ii. even function with respect to an odd wavelet odd. 2. Is x(t) = eit e 2 , where is in radians/sec an admissible wavelet or not? Prove. 3. Given the function x(t) = wavelet out of it.

The scaling lter associated with a scaling function (t) is H ( ) = 1 2 (1 + e of the corresponding scaling function (t) form an orthonormal sequence?

7. A scaling function (t) satises the 2-scale dilation equation: (t) = ck = (t), (2t k ) . Show that (t) is supported on the interval [0, N ].
