Beta wavelet

Last updated January 12, 2023

Continuous wavelets of compact support alpha can be built,^[1] which are related to the beta distribution. The process is derived from probability distributions using blur derivative. These new wavelets have just one cycle, so they are termed unicycle wavelets. They can be viewed as a soft variety of Haar wavelets whose shape is fine-tuned by two parameters $\alpha$ and $\beta$ . Closed-form expressions for beta wavelets and scale functions as well as their spectra are derived. Their importance is due to the Central Limit Theorem by Gnedenko and Kolmogorov applied for compactly supported signals.^[2]

Beta distribution

The beta distribution is a continuous probability distribution defined over the interval $0\leq t\leq 1$ . It is characterised by a couple of parameters, namely $\alpha$ and $\beta$ according to:

$P(t)={\frac {1}{B(\alpha ,\beta )}}t^{\alpha -1}\cdot (1-t)^{\beta -1},\quad 1\leq \alpha ,\beta \leq +\infty$ .

The normalising factor is $B(\alpha ,\beta )={\frac {\Gamma (\alpha )\cdot \Gamma (\beta )}{\Gamma (\alpha +\beta )}}$ ,

where $\Gamma (\cdot )$ is the generalised factorial function of Euler and $B(\cdot ,\cdot )$ is the Beta function.^[3]

Gnedenko-Kolmogorov central limit theorem revisited

Let $p_{i}(t)$ be a probability density of the random variable $t_{i}$ , $i=1,2,3..N$ i.e.

$p_{i}(t)\geq 0$ , $(\forall t)$ and $\int _{-\infty }^{+\infty }p_{i}(t)dt=1$ .

Suppose that all variables are independent.

The mean and the variance of a given random variable $t_{i}$ are, respectively

$m_{i}=\int _{-\infty }^{+\infty }\tau \cdot p_{i}(\tau )d\tau ,$ $\sigma _{i}^{2}=\int _{-\infty }^{+\infty }(\tau -m_{i})^{2}\cdot p_{i}(\tau )d\tau$ .

The mean and variance of $t$ are therefore $m=\sum _{i=1}^{N}m_{i}$ and $\sigma ^{2}=\sum _{i=1}^{N}\sigma _{i}^{2}$ .

The density $p(t)$ of the random variable corresponding to the sum $t=\sum _{i=1}^{N}t_{i}$ is given by the

Central Limit Theorem for distributions of compact support (Gnedenko and Kolmogorov).^[2]

Let $\{p_{i}(t)\}$ be distributions such that $Supp\{(p_{i}(t))\}=(a_{i},b_{i})(\forall i)$ .

Let $a=\sum _{i=1}^{N}a_{i}<+\infty$ , and $b=\sum _{i=1}^{N}b_{i}<+\infty$ .

Without loss of generality assume that $a=0$ and $b=1$ .

The random variable $t$ holds, as $N\rightarrow \infty$ , $p(t)\approx$ ${\begin{cases}{k\cdot t^{\alpha }(1-t)^{\beta }},\\otherwise\end{cases}}$

where $\alpha ={\frac {m(m-m^{2}-\sigma ^{2})}{\sigma ^{2}}},$ and $\beta ={\frac {(1-m)(\alpha +1)}{m}}.$

Beta wavelets

Since $P(\cdot |\alpha ,\beta )$ is unimodal, the wavelet generated by

$\psi _{beta}(t|\alpha ,\beta )=(-1){\frac {dP(t|\alpha ,\beta )}{dt}}$ has only one-cycle (a negative half-cycle and a positive half-cycle).

The main features of beta wavelets of parameters $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are:

$Supp(\psi )=[-{\sqrt {\frac {\alpha }{\beta }}}{\sqrt {\alpha +\beta +1}},{\sqrt {\frac {\beta }{\alpha }}}{\sqrt {\alpha +\beta +1}}]=[a,b].$

$lengthSupp(\psi )=T(\alpha ,\beta )=(\alpha +\beta ){\sqrt {\frac {\alpha +\beta +1}{\alpha \beta }}}.$

The parameter $R=b/|a|=\beta /\alpha$ is referred to as “cyclic balance”, and is defined as the ratio between the lengths of the causal and non-causal piece of the wavelet. The instant of transition $t_{zerocross}$ from the first to the second half cycle is given by

$t_{zerocross}={\frac {(\alpha -\beta )}{(\alpha +\beta -2)}}{\sqrt {\frac {\alpha +\beta +1}{\alpha \beta }}}.$

The (unimodal) scale function associated with the wavelets is given by

$\phi _{beta}(t|\alpha ,\beta )={\frac {1}{B(\alpha ,\beta )T^{\alpha +\beta -1}}}\cdot (t-a)^{\alpha -1}\cdot (b-t)^{\beta -1},$ $a\leq t\leq b$ .

A closed-form expression for first-order beta wavelets can easily be derived. Within their support,

$\psi _{beta}(t|\alpha ,\beta )={\frac {-1}{B(\alpha ,\beta )T^{\alpha +\beta -1}}}\cdot [{\frac {\alpha -1}{t-a}}-{\frac {\beta -1}{b-t}}]\cdot (t-a)^{\alpha -1}\cdot (b-t)^{\beta -1}$

Beta wavelet spectrum

The beta wavelet spectrum can be derived in terms of the Kummer hypergeometric function.^[4]

Let $\psi _{beta}(t|\alpha ,\beta )\leftrightarrow \Psi _{BETA}(\omega |\alpha ,\beta )$ denote the Fourier transform pair associated with the wavelet.

This spectrum is also denoted by $\Psi _{BETA}(\omega )$ for short. It can be proved by applying properties of the Fourier transform that

$\Psi _{BETA}(\omega )=-j\omega \cdot M(\alpha ,\alpha +\beta ,-j\omega (\alpha +\beta ){\sqrt {\frac {\alpha +\beta +1}{\alpha \beta }}})\cdot exp\{(j\omega {\sqrt {\frac {\alpha (\alpha +\beta +1)}{\beta }}})\}$

where $M(\alpha ,\alpha +\beta ,j\nu )={\frac {\Gamma (\alpha +\beta )}{\Gamma (\alpha )\cdot \Gamma (\beta )}}\cdot \int _{0}^{1}e^{j\nu t}t^{\alpha -1}(1-t)^{\beta -1}dt$ .

Only symmetrical $(\alpha =\beta )$ cases have zeroes in the spectrum. A few asymmetric $(\alpha \neq \beta )$ beta wavelets are shown in Fig. Inquisitively, they are parameter-symmetrical in the sense that they hold $|\Psi _{BETA}(\omega |\alpha ,\beta )|=|\Psi _{BETA}(\omega |\beta ,\alpha )|.$

Higher derivatives may also generate further beta wavelets. Higher order beta wavelets are defined by $\psi _{beta}(t|\alpha ,\beta )=(-1)^{N}{\frac {d^{N}P(t|\alpha ,\beta )}{dt^{N}}}.$

This is henceforth referred to as an $N$ -order beta wavelet. They exist for order $N\leq Min(\alpha ,\beta )-1$ . After some algebraic handling, their closed-form expression can be found:

$\Psi _{beta}(t|\alpha ,\beta )={\frac {(-1)^{N}}{B(\alpha ,\beta )\cdot T^{\alpha +\beta -1}}}\sum _{n=0}^{N}sgn(2n-N)\cdot {\frac {\Gamma (\alpha )}{\Gamma (\alpha -(N-n))}}(t-a)^{\alpha -1-(N-n)}\cdot {\frac {\Gamma (\beta )}{\Gamma (\beta -n)}}(b-t)^{\beta -1-n}.$

Application

Wavelet theory is applicable to several subjects. All wavelet transforms may be considered forms of time-frequency representation for continuous-time (analog) signals and so are related to harmonic analysis. Almost all practically useful discrete wavelet transforms use discrete-time filter banks. Similarly, Beta wavelet^[1]^[5] and its derivative are utilized in several real-time engineering applications such as image compression,^[5] bio-medical signal compression,^[6]^[7] image recognition [9]^[8] etc.

In particle physics, the Dirac equation is a relativistic wave equation derived by British physicist Paul Dirac in 1928. In its free form, or including electromagnetic interactions, it describes all spin-1⁄2 massive particles, called "Dirac particles", such as electrons and quarks for which parity is a symmetry. It is consistent with both the principles of quantum mechanics and the theory of special relativity, and was the first theory to account fully for special relativity in the context of quantum mechanics. It was validated by accounting for the fine structure of the hydrogen spectrum in a completely rigorous way.

In probability theory and statistics, the beta distribution is a family of continuous probability distributions defined on the interval [0, 1] in terms of two positive parameters, denoted by alpha (α) and beta (β), that appear as exponents of the variable and its complement to 1, respectively, and control the shape of the distribution.

The time-evolving block decimation (TEBD) algorithm is a numerical scheme used to simulate one-dimensional quantum many-body systems, characterized by at most nearest-neighbour interactions. It is dubbed Time-evolving Block Decimation because it dynamically identifies the relevant low-dimensional Hilbert subspaces of an exponentially larger original Hilbert space. The algorithm, based on the Matrix Product States formalism, is highly efficient when the amount of entanglement in the system is limited, a requirement fulfilled by a large class of quantum many-body systems in one dimension.

In mathematical logic and set theory, an ordinal collapsing function is a technique for defining certain recursive large countable ordinals, whose principle is to give names to certain ordinals much larger than the one being defined, perhaps even large cardinals, and then "collapse" them down to a system of notations for the sought-after ordinal. For this reason, ordinal collapsing functions are described as an impredicative manner of naming ordinals.

The Kapitza–Dirac effect is a quantum mechanical effect consisting of the diffraction of matter by a standing wave of light. The effect was first predicted as the diffraction of electrons from a standing wave of light by Paul Dirac and Pyotr Kapitsa in 1933. The effect relies on the wave–particle duality of matter as stated by the de Broglie hypothesis in 1924.

An LC circuit can be quantized using the same methods as for the quantum harmonic oscillator. An LC circuit is a variety of resonant circuit, and consists of an inductor, represented by the letter L, and a capacitor, represented by the letter C. When connected together, an electric current can alternate between them at the circuit's resonant frequency:

Buchholz's psi-functions are a hierarchy of single-argument ordinal functions $introduced by German mathematician Wilfried Buchholz in 1986. These functions are a simplified version of the -functions, but nevertheless have the same strength as those. Later on this approach was extended by Jaiger and Schütte.$

Tau functions are an important ingredient in the modern theory of integrable systems, and have numerous applications in a variety of other domains. They were originally introduced by Ryogo Hirota in his direct method approach to soliton equations, based on expressing them in an equivalent bilinear form. The term Tau function, or $-function$ , was first used systematically by Mikio Sato and his students in the specific context of the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation, and related integrable hierarchies. It is a central ingredient in the theory of solitons. Tau functions also appear as matrix model partition functions in the spectral theory of Random Matrices, and may also serve as generating functions, in the sense of combinatorics and enumerative geometry, especially in relation to moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces, and enumeration of branched coverings, or so-called Hurwitz numbers.
