Introduction
In 2004 H.Jiang, D.Li, and N.Jin [10] introduced the notion of multiresolution analysis (MRA) on local fields of positive characteristic , proved some properties and constructed "Haar MRA" and corresponding "Haar wavelets". The wavelet theory developed in [1, 2, 3, 4, 11]. Construction of non-Haar wavelets is the a basic problem in this theory. The problem of constructing orthogonal MRA on the field is studied in detail in the works [6, 7, 8, 12, 16, 17]. S.F.Lukomskii, A.M.Vodolazov [15, 18] considered local field as a vector space over the finite field and constructed non-Haar wavelets. In [15] the authors construct the mask and correspondent refinable function using some tree with zero as a root. In this case wavelets may be found from the equality
[TABLE]
where is a dilation operator, , and are Rademacher functions. In the article [13], the concept of -valid tree was introduced and an algorithm for constructing the mask and correspondent refinable function was indicated in the field . In the articles [14], [5] the mask and correspondent refinable function were constructed using graph which is obtained from -valid tree by adding new arcs. But in this case we cannot define "masks" by the equation .
In this article we give an algorithm for construction of "masks" in general case.
1 Basic concepts
Let be a prime number, , – finite field. Local field of positive characteristic is isomorphic (Kovalski-Pontryagin theorem [9]) to the set of formal power series
[TABLE]
Addition and multiplication in the field are defined as sum and product of such series. Therefore we will consider local field of positive characteristic as the field of sequences infinite in both directions
[TABLE]
which have only finite number of elements with negative nonequal to zero, and the operations of addition and multiplication are defined by equalities
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
where and are respectively addition and multiplication in . The norm of the element is defined by the equality
[TABLE]
Therefore
[TABLE]
is a ball of radius .
Neighborhoods are compact subgroups of the group . We will denote them as . They have the following properties:
1)
2) и .
It is noted in [15] that the field can be described as a linear space over . Using this description one may define the multiplication of element on element \mbox{\boldmath\lambda}\in GF(p^{s}) coordinatewise, i.e. \mbox{\boldmath\lambda}a=(\dots{\bf 0}_{n-1},\mbox{\boldmath\lambda}{\bf a}_{n},\mbox{\boldmath\lambda}{\bf a}_{n+1},\dots), and the modulus \mbox{\boldmath\lambda}\in GF(p^{s}) can be defined as
[TABLE]
It is also proved there, that the system is a basis in , i.e. any element can be represented as:
a=\sum\limits_{k\in\mathbb{Z}}\mbox{\boldmath\lambda}_{k}g_{k},\ \mbox{\boldmath\lambda}_{k}\in GF(p^{s}).
From now on we will consider . In this case \mbox{\boldmath\lambda}_{k}={\bf a}_{k}. Let us define the sets
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
The set is the set of shifts in . It is an analogue of the set of nonnegative integers.
We will denote the collection of all characters of as . The set generates a commutative group with respect to the multiplication of characters: . Inverse element is defined as , and the neutral element is .
Following [15] we define characters of the group in the following way. Let , . The element can be written in the form . In this case
[TABLE]
and the collection of all such sequences is Vilenkin group. Thus the equality defines Rademacher function of and every character can be described in the following way:
[TABLE]
The equality (2) can be rewritten as
[TABLE]
and let us define
[TABLE]
where . Then (3) takes the form
[TABLE]
We will refer to as the Rademacher functions. By definition we set
[TABLE]
It follows that if and then
[TABLE]
In [15] the following properties of characters are proved
-
, .
-
, , .
-
The set of characters of the field is a linear space over the finite field with multiplication being an inner operation and the power being an outer operation.
-
The set of Rademacher functions is a basis in the space .
The dilation operator in local field is defined as , where . In the group of characters it is defined as .
2 Step Wavelets
We will consider a case of scaling function , which generates an orthogonal MRA, being a step function. The set of step functions constant on cosets of a subgroup with the support will be denoted as , . Similarly, is a set of step functions, constant on the cosets of a subgroup with the support .
Let generate an orthogonal MRA , satisfies the refinement equation [15], which we rewrite in a frequency from
[TABLE]
where
[TABLE]
is the mask of equation (5). There exist methods for constructing and (see e.g.[5]). We want to construct wavelets from refinable function . We will find these wavelets from the equations
[TABLE]
and will call the functions masks, too. It is evident that .
Theorem 2.1
Let be a masks that are constant on the cosets of a subgroup and periodic with any period , , . Define wavelets by the equations
[TABLE]
where is a refinable function. The shifts system , will be orthonormal iff for any
[TABLE]
Proof. The sufficiency. Let Consider scalar product , where .
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
By the orthonormality criteria for the system of shifts of the refinable function the following equality holds:
[TABLE]
Consider integral from (7)
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
where is a scalar product.
Let us introduce the following notation:
[TABLE]
Then we obtain
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
For we can derive similar equality:
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
Thus, if masks for all satisfy the condition
[TABLE]
then the system of shifts , is an orthonormal system.
The necessity. Let us fix and consider equalities (8),(9) as a system of linear equation with unknowns and consider the matrix of this system.
It is obvious that is a square matrix . Let us prove that its determinant is nonequal to zero.
Let us start with , . In this case
[TABLE]
where is Vandermonde matrix, which is known to have nonzero determinant.
For the sake of clarity let us consider a case , . In this case the matrix may be represented as block matrix
[TABLE]
where symbol corresponds to Kronecker product. By the properties of Kronecker product . Thus, again matrix is nonsingular.
For the case of arbitrary , matrix can be represented as times and will again have nonzero determinant by the properties of Kronecker product.
Similarly, when and are both arbitrary times. Thus, the system is nonsingular and has a unique solution, which proves the necessity.
Theorem 2.1 can be reformulated in the following way: are the masks of corresponding step compactly supported orthonormal wavelets if and only if for each matrix with elements
[TABLE]
is unitary. The sufficiency of this theorem was proved in [10] (theorem 3). For step refinable functions the condition (6) is necessary and sufficient. If the condition (6) is fulfilled then the functions form a wavelet system [10]. For a step refinable function we can describe an algorithm for constructing masks and wavelets , .
Let us assume we have all the values of . We may obtain them using an algorithm presented in [5]. Recall the notation:
[TABLE]
1) For each we construct a matrix with elements the following way. The first row consists of all the values
[TABLE]
where are fixed and calculated from . Supplement this matrix to unitary in the following way.
If then we make for and for .
If then there exists number
[TABLE]
for which . This nonzero value exists by the property of (see e.g.[10] ) In this case we make , for , and in another case.
2) Run the Gram-Schmidt process on each matrix in order to make them unitary.
3) Now for each we find the values of the mask from the equalities
[TABLE]
. 4) The wavelets can be obtained using the formula
[TABLE]
and performing inverse Fourier transform.
