1. Introduction
Wavelets [1] were born from the need to generate functions, especially those that present singularities, high gradients, discontinuities both in the time domain and in the frequency domain. Wavelets enable the high-resolution analysis of functions with these characteristics. An example of a problem that occurs when generating functions with a Fourier base is the Gibbs phenomenon. Such a phenomenon occurs because there is no way to represent functions that present discontinuities, even adding more elements in the base that will generate the function. A characteristic of wavelets is that they do not produce such an effect.
Wavelets are widely used in the solution of numerical problems in several areas of knowledge such as image compression, Numerical Harmonic Analysis [2], financial analysis, oil detection, differential Equations [3, 4], biomedical signals, analysis of electromagnetic integral Equations [5], optical fibers [6], among others. Many of these applications use the specific properties of wavelets, such as coefficients that are determined numerically, multi-resolution analysis to decompose a signal, integrals, and derivatives obtained numerically, energy concentrated in its compact and base with orthogonal elements.
2. Short introduction to wavelet theory
For the development of topics presented in this chapter, the reader must have as a prerequisite knowledge of functional analysis, linear algebra, measure theory and integration, differential and integral calculus. It is important to note that the wavelet basis is for the wavelet transform as well as the trigonometric basis is for the Fourier transform. Generally, the term wavelet is also used as a wavelet transform. The following subsections present these initial prerequisites to the reader.
2.1 Preliminaries on Hilbert spaces
In this subsection, some mathematical concepts necessary for a better formal understanding of the wavelet tool are defined. The definitions, contained in this section, are due to the author [2].
Definition 2.1 The space H is said to be a Hilbert space, if an inner product <,>, associated with a standard ‖=<,> has been defined in it. And a set of vectors vi, for i∈N an orthonormal system is said if the internal product <vn,vm>=δmn, for m,n∈N.
Definition 2.2 A set of vectors vn is orthonormal, if and only if, for every finite set of complex numbers xn, there is ∥∑nanxn∥2=∑an2, for n∈N.
Definition 2.3 In Hilbert’s H space, a set of vectors vn is said to be a Riez system, if there are constants 0≤c≤C<∞ such that for any finite set of complex numbers xn if you have:
c∑an2≤∥∑nanxx∥2≤C∑nan2E1
Definition 2.4 The space L2R is said to be an integrable square function space, that is,
L2R=f:R↦C:∫Rfx2dx<∞E2
For f,g∈L2R, define the inner product <f,g>=∫Rfxgx¯dx. On what, gx¯ is the complex conjugate of the function gx.
In particular ∥f∥=∥f∥2=∫Rfx2dx12, and f is said to be an integrable square.
Definition 2.5 Let f:R↦C be a function. The support of f, denoted by suppf, is the closing of the set x∈R:fx≠0. A function f is said to have compact support if the suppf set is compact.1
Definition 2.6 We say that a function f is generated by the basis functions f1…fn, if coefficients exist c1…cn such that:
f=∑i=1nficiE3
The concepts presented here about orthogonality and support of a f function, are fundamental to formalize the definition of wavelet. The following subsection presents the formal mathematical concept of wavelet.
2.2 Definition of wavelet
This subsection aims to define wavelet [2], the main mathematical tool used in the development of this chapter. However, it is necessary to define the expansion and translation of mathematical operations beforehand.
Definition 2.7 Givena>0, the expansion operator,Da, defined over afxfunction inL1orL2overR, is given by,Dafx=a12fx.
Definition 2.8 Givenb∈R, the translation operator,Tb, defined over a functionfx, inL1orL2overR, is given by,Tbfx=fxb.
Thus, using the expansion and translation operations defined above, a family of functions ψj,kx was built: L2→R, base orthogonal to L2R.
ψj,kxj,k∈Z=2j2ψ2jx−kj,k∈Z=D2jTkψxj,k∈ZE4
The Definition 2.9, uses the family of functions ψj,kxj,k∈Z, to define the term mathematically wavelet.
Definition 2.9 A function ψx is called wavelet if the collection ψj,kxj,k∈Z is an orthogonal basis on L2R. Where j and k are the resolution and translation of wavelet respectively.
By varying the values of j and/or k, it is possible to analyze with greater precision, for example, the behavior of functions that present abrupt changes in values and discontinuity. This type of analysis makes the wavelet a tool as or more efficient than the basic Fourier functions.
The definition 2.10 is another way used to define a wavelet.
Definition 2.10 A wavelet2 is a short duration wave, which has an average value equal to zero.
Due to the definition 2.10, wavelets resemble Fourier sine and cosine basis functions. Analogously to what is done in the Fourier transform, which has sine and cosine functions as base functions, in wavelet analysis, a function is decomposed into a base of wavelet functions.
The Fourier transform Fω expression of a ft function is given by (5):
Fω=∫−∞+∞fte−iωtdtE5
The expression (5) means that the Fourier transform is the sum of every ft sign multiplied by a complex exponential, which can be separated into cosine and sinusoidal components in the real and complex parts, respectively.
Similarly, the expression of the wavelet transform Wj,kf of a function ft, is given by (6):
Wj,kf=∫−∞+∞ftψj,ktdtE6
Similarly, the expression of the wavelet transform (6) is the internal product of the signal to be transformed by a wavelet function.
In the following subsection, among the most varied types of wavelets, the Daubechies wavelets are highlighted, which are the basis for the development of this chapter.
2.3 Daubechies wavelet properties
At 1988, a family of compact support wavelets [7] is built by Ingrid Daubechies. This family of wavelets has highly well-located elements. Each member wavelet is governed by a set of N integer coefficients and k=0.1…N−1 coefficients through scale relations (7) and (8). The ak and a1−k coefficients, which appear in the (7) and (8), are called filter coefficients and verify the following relations:

The functions ϕ in (7) and ψ in (8) are called the scale function ϕ and wavelet function ψ, respectively. The fundamental support of the scale function3 is the interval 0N−1 as the fundamental support of wavelet function ψx is the interval 1−N2N2. In the case of N=4, we have the graphs of the Figures 1 and 2.
To determine the filter coefficients ak and a1−k, which appear in the (7) and (8), we use the relations (9)–(12) below.

∑k=0N−1−1ka1−kak−2m=0E11
∑k=0N−1−1kkmak=0,m=0.1,…,N2−1,E12
where δk,m is the Kronecker Delta function.
3. Generating an analytical function of the type xk using wavelets
Analytical functions are those that can be locally around a point x0 expanded in a Taylor series, according to the following expression.
fx=∑n=0+∞fnx0n!x−x0nE13
In general according to the author [8], any fx function can be represented in terms of a wavelet base, as follows:
fx=∑m=−∞+∞ckϕx−m=∑m=−∞+∞cmϕmx.E14
The ck coefficients are called moments of the scale functions. In particular, for fx=xk, we have the expression (15), below:
xk=∑m=−∞+∞Mmk2jkϕ2jx−m,E15
Since Mmk the moment of the wavelet scales concerning the xk monomial, where k is the degree of the polynomial, m and j are the translation and resolution of the ϕ wavelet. The justification for the construction of the equation is found in the work of [8, 9, 10], in which the author concludes that the cmj coefficients for approximating a monomial of the xk form, using a Daubechies wavelet base ϕ, looks like this:
cmj=Mmk2jkE16
The justification used in the approximation (15) of a polynomial function of type fx=xk derives from the number of null moments,
∫−∞+∞xkψxdx=0,k=0.1,…,N2−1E17
According to the Eq. (17), the N Daubechies Wavelet has N2 vanish moments, being possible to represent a polynomial of degree at most N2−1, using the ϕx scale function. The polynomial approximation using the scale function is formalized in the following definition.
Definition 3.1 A wavelet has p vanish moments (18), if and only if, the wavelet scale function ϕ can generate polynomials of degree up to p−1 [Eq. (19)]. That is, the scale function alone can be used to represent these polynomials. The fact that it has more null moments means that the scale function can represent more complex functions.
∫−∞+∞xmψxdx=0;m=0,1,…,N2−1E18
fx=p1+p2x+…+pk−1xk,k≤N2−1E19
In general, a Daubechies wavelet of kind N, properly translated and adjusted to the appropriate resolution level, generates a polynomial of degree k, with the relation between N and k given by N=2k+2. For example, to generate a polynomial of degree 1 a wavelet of Daubechies of kind 4 is necessary.
To generate a polynomial with n+1 terms, in the function of Daubechies wavelets of genres 4,6,8,…,N−1, we use the momentum equation and the polynomial expansion as a function of wavelets.
where k is the degree of the polynomial j and m are the resolution and translation of the wavelet respectively.
In the next subsection, the calculation of the moment generating function, which appears in the expression 21 as a coefficient of xk, is shown in detail.
4. Moment generating function
The calculation of the moment generating function according to the author [11] is of fundamental importance to approximate the functions by wavelets. The deduction of the moment-generating function now begins. For this, the mathematical expression is used
Mmk=∫−∞+∞xkϕx−mdxE23
which refers to the moment of the wavelet scale ϕ in relation to the monomial xk.
From (35), (34), and (24), we get the moment generating function Mmk:W→R, where W is wavelet space, m is the translation of the scale function and k is the degree of the polynomial to be approximated.
The analytical expression for Mmk was developed during the author’s research [11] and to validate the results found, a comparative study was made with other numerical results [12, 13] of the scientific literature.
Similar to what was done with the calculation of the moments for the function ϕ, there is also the calculation of the moments for the function ψ. This is given by integral (38)
∫−∞+∞xmψxdx=0;m=0,1,…,N2−1.E38
The following is an example of the calculation of the moments for the case of Daubechies wavelets of a kind N=4.
Example 4.1 In this example, the Daubechies wavelet of kind 4 is used to generate the analytical polynomial function fx=x. According to the definition 3.1, the scale function of Daubechies of genus N=4, generates a line (polynomial of degree 1). To represent a 1 monomial with a 4 Daubechies wavelet in the 01 range, the translations ϕx,ϕx+1,ϕx+2, whose supports are 0.3,−1.2,−2.1, that is:
The support of the linear combination (39), represented in Figure 3, is obtained by the intersection of the supports of the translations of the function ϕx. This intersection results in the interval I=0.1. This fact defines well the function to be integrated in the I range. In Figure 3, the number of translations of the function ϕx to generate fx=x is illustrated.
Figure 3.

Figure 4 shows the graph of translated functions ϕx,ϕx+1 and ϕx+2 respectively, that form a base to generate the function fx=x.
Figure 4.
Translations required to represent the analytical function fx=x using Daubechies wavelets of kind 4. Source: This figure was generated by the author using the python programming language.
The calculation using the moment generating function depends on the Daubechies wavelet coefficients of kind 4. These coefficients are obtained by the Eqs. (9)–(12), which gives rise to the following non-linear system.
Replacing the value of m by m=−1, m=−2 and k=1, we obtain:
M−11=−0,366025400E44
M−21=−1,366025400E45
So, the representation for the x polynomial (for a resolution j=0) is:
x=0,634ϕx−0,366ϕx+1−1.366ϕx+2E46
In Figure 5, we have the graphical representation of the function obtained of the expression (46). Here the function fx=x is generated by linear combination of wavelets ϕx,ϕx+1 and ϕx+2.
Figure 5.
Function fx=x using Daubechies wavelets of kind 4. Source: This figure was generated by the author using the python programming language.
The representation for the expression (46) using the summation is given by,
x=∑m1=−20Mm112jkϕ2jx−m1E47
The expression for writing polynomials of degrees k=2 and k=3 in terms of Daubechies wavelets is given by
x2=∑m2=−42Mm222jkϕ2jx−m2E48
x3=∑m3=−60Mm332jkϕ2jx−m3E49
See that to generate the polynomials (48), (49) is necessary to use Daubechies wavelets of kind 6 and 8, according with the definition 3.1.
4.1 Taylor polynomial using Daubechies wavelets
The Taylor polynomial or Taylor series is an expression that allows the calculation of the local value of a function f using your derivatives. For this, the function f must be of class C infinite (represented by C∞) which implies that the f is infinitely derivable in an interval containing a point x0. The expression for the Taylor polynomial for the function f is as follows,
The expression (52) is another way of writing Taylor’s polynomial using Daubechies Wavelets.
Example 4.2 Consider the analytical function fx=ex, using Daubechies wavelet of kind a N=4 is possible to write this function f in terms of this wavelet. For this, Taylor’s series development around the point x0=0 of this function is given by:
ex=∑n=0+∞xnn!E53
Using only two summation terms in the expression (53), we have:
The expression (55) allows us to approximate the exponential function using a base of Daubechies wavelets. This type of approximation, although simple for this case, is very useful in the case of representation for functions other types.
In the following example, the expression (46) is used to approximate Taylor’s series developments for the functions sx=ex,fx=coshx,gx=sinhx and hx=ln1+x.
Example 4.3 For the functions fx=coshx,gx=cosx and hx=secx. Taylor’s series development of these functions around the point x0=0 is:
coshx=∑n=0+∞x2n2n!E56
sinhx=∑n=0+∞x2n+12n+1!E57
ln1+x=∑n=1+∞−1n+1xnnE58
In order to verify the potentiality of the application of Daubechies wavelets we will calculate the value of the functions in (53), (56), (57) and (58) evaluated at point x = 1. Considering only 7 terms in each summation. For obtain the results using Daubechies wavelets we apply the expression (55) in each summation (53), (56), (57) and (58). In the Table 1 we have a comparison between the calculation of the values of the functions sx=ex,fx=coshx,gx=sinhx and hx=ln1+x evaluated at point x=1, using the Taylor series and the Daubechies wavelets of kind 4.

Calculation using Daubechies wavelets of kind 4.
Table 1 appears here only as a way of showing the quality of the approximations using the Daubechies wavelets of kind 4. Obviously if we want more precise values, we must use Daubechies wavelets of the kind greater than 4. This will cause changes in the resolution and translation of each wavelet, but the result will be even better.
5. Conclusions
Daubechies wavelets are quite versatile mathematical tools. They can be used to analyze, generate, decompose a function, or even a signal that is represented by an analytical function. This type of application is widely used, for example, in electrical engineering in studies of magnetic fields and electric fields. The theory exposed in this chapter provides tools to carry out these studies. The use of the Taylor series as a way of approximating analytical functions is a very used technique in applied mathematics. Making use of the Taylor series with wavelets is another option to perform an approximation of analytical functions. In future work, we are researching other wavelets, for example Deslauries-Dubuc interpolets, that have an even better approach quality. As Deslauriers-Dubuc interpolets and others in research.
