1. Intuition: The Time-Frequency Problem

The Fourier transform gives perfect frequency resolution but zero time resolution. Wavelets resolve this by using basis functions that are both localized in time and in frequency.

The STFT uses a fixed-width window — same time resolution for all frequencies. Wavelets use a scale-adaptive window — narrow at high frequencies (good time resolution), wide at low frequencies (good frequency resolution).

2. Wavelet Families

Different wavelets suit different applications. The key properties are:

• Vanishing moments $N$: number of polynomial terms annihilated ($\int t^k \psi\,dt=0$ for $k<N$)
• Support length: $2N-1$ for db$N$
• Regularity: Hölder exponent $\alpha \approx 0.2075N$
• Symmetry: db$N$ is asymmetric; sym$N$ is near-symmetric

2.2 Continuous Wavelet Transform: Scalogram

The scalogram $|W_\psi f(a, b)|^2$ shows signal energy as a function of time $b$ and scale $a$. Unlike the STFT, the time-frequency tiles are logarithmically spaced — fine at high frequencies, coarse at low frequencies (constant-Q analysis).

3. Multiresolution Analysis (MRA)

MRA provides the algebraic framework for wavelet filter banks. The key idea: represent a signal at successively coarser scales, with each scale's 'detail' captured by the detail space $W_j$.

$$L^2(\mathbb{R}) = \bigoplus_{j \in \mathbb{Z}} W_j$$

The Mallat algorithm computes this decomposition in $O(N)$ via iterated low-pass / high-pass filtering.

4. The Mallat Algorithm (Fast DWT)

The Mallat algorithm computes the DWT via iterated convolution + downsampling:

$$a^{(j+1)}_k = \sum_n h_{n-2k}\, a^{(j)}_n \qquad \text{(low-pass + downsample)}$$ $$d^{(j+1)}_k = \sum_n g_{n-2k}\, a^{(j)}_n \qquad \text{(high-pass + downsample)}$$

This costs $O(N)$ total — faster than the FFT's $O(N\log N)$.

4.3 QMF Relation and Perfect Reconstruction

The wavelet filter $g$ is derived from the scaling filter $h$ via:

$$g_k = (-1)^k h_{1-k}$$

This ensures the analysis filter bank is power-complementary — $H$ and $G$ together cover the entire frequency axis without gaps or overlap.

Perfect Reconstruction (PR): Alias cancellation + distortion-free condition ensures exact reconstruction $\text{IDWT}(\text{DWT}(x)) = x$.

5. Daubechies Wavelet Construction

5.1 Vanishing Moments

A wavelet $\psi$ has $N$ vanishing moments if $\int t^k\psi(t)\,dt = 0$ for $k=0,\ldots,N-1$.

Implication: If $f$ is well-approximated by a degree-$(N-1)$ polynomial over the support of $\psi_{j,k}$, then $d_{j,k} = \langle f, \psi_{j,k}\rangle \approx 0$. Smooth signals have sparse wavelet representations — ideal for compression.

8.1 Mallat Scattering Networks

The scattering transform provides provably stable, translation-invariant features without learned parameters. It cascades wavelet transforms with pointwise modulus:

$$S_1[j](x) = |x * \psi_j| * \phi_J$$ $$S_2[j_1, j_2](x) = ||x * \psi_{j_1}| * \psi_{j_2}| * \phi_J$$

8.5 Wavelet Denoising: Donoho-Johnstone

Soft thresholding of wavelet coefficients is the proximal operator for $\ell^1$ regularization:

$$\hat{d}_{j,k} = \text{sign}(d_{j,k})\max(|d_{j,k}| - \lambda, 0)$$

Universal threshold: $\lambda = \hat{\sigma}\sqrt{2\log N}$ where $\hat{\sigma} = \text{median}(|d_1|)/0.6745$.
