In the case of a function f, the local scales of f at x is computed by measuring the deviation of f from a linear function near x at different scales t's. In the case of a d-dimensional surface E, the analogy is to measure the deviation of E from a d-plane near x on E at various scale t's. We then apply the theory of singular integral operators on E to show useful properties of local scales. We will also show that the defined local scales are consistent in the sense that the number of local scales are invariant under dilation.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-09-21T17:01:53.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "singular integral operators", "linear function", "scales ts", "d-dimensional surface", "defined local scales" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1009.4145L" } } }
