Properties of the
's
Assume real-valued; if not, we'll need
's
Scaling function
, where
Theorem 5.9:


Theorem.
Proof.
Step 1:
Step 2: change variables
:
Step 3: It takes work to show this, but we're left with
, where
, so
, and
quod erat demonstrandum

Example: Haar
, so
.
3.
4.
(even),
(odd)
Example: Shannon
Scaling:
Hence
Now
is the only even term.
Let
be the fourier series for the alternating function
Then
Daubechies
MRA
, where
These were derived from the properties, and not from a given
.
Wavelets
Looking for
such that
is an orthonormal basis for
.
From this we get
is an orthonormal basis for
.
find
's such that
. We want
for all 

If
, we get
.
We have
Hence
(since we are deriving the Daubechies wavelet, we will set
, but this could be arbitrary.)
We want
?
We get
, and we check that



Note: In the Haar wavelet, we have
,
,
, and 
,
,
,
So for
, we get
, and
.
