Waveletsare often used to analyse piece-wise smooth signals.[1]Wavelet coefficients can efficiently represent a signal which has led to data compression algorithms using wavelets.[2]Wavelet analysis is extended formultidimensional signal processingas well. This article introduces a few methods for wavelet synthesis and...

Inmathematics, a sequencea=(a0,a1, ...,an)of nonnegative real numbers is called alogarithmically concave sequence, or alog-concave sequencefor short, ifai2≥ai−1ai+1holds for0 <i<n. Remark:some authors (explicitly or not) add two further conditions in the definition of log-concave sequences: These conditions mirror th...
