More generally, we find a new decomposition theory for the Hilbert space of square-integrable functions on the unit-interval, both with respect to Lebesgue measure, and also with respect to a wider class of self-similar measures (mu). That is, we consider recursive and orthogonal decompositions for the Hilbert space L^2(mu) where mu is some self-similar measure on [0,1]. Up to two specific reflection symmetries, our scheme produces infinite families of orthonormal bases in L^2(0,1). Our approach is as versatile as the more traditional spline constructions. But while singly generated spline bases typically do not produce orthonormal bases, each of our present algorithms does.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2007-03-18T03:43:35.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "42C40", "37F40", "46E22", "47L30" ], "keywords": [ "brownian motion", "localized bases", "hilbert space", "generated spline bases", "self-similar measure" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 26, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2005math.....12659J" } } }
