From Frame-like Wavelets to Wavelet Frames keeping approximation properties and symmetry

Abstract

For a given symmetric refinable mask obeying the sum rule of order $n$, an explicit method is suggested for the construction of mutually symmetric almost frame-like wavelet system providing approximation order $n$. A transformation based on the lifting scheme is described that allows to improve almost frame-like wavelets to dual wavelet frames and preserve other properties. A direct method for the construction of dual wavelet frames providing approximation order $n$ and mutual symmetry properties is also discussed. For an abelian symmetry group $H$, a technique providing the $H$-symmetry property for each wavelet function is given for the above three methods.
