Abstract
Wavelets are functions that satisfy certain requirements and are used
in representing and processing functions and signals, as well as, in
compression of data and images as in fields such as: mathematics, physics,
computer science, engineering, and medicine. The study of wavelet
transforms had been motivated by the need to overcome some weak points
in representing functions and signals by the classical Fourier transforms
such as the speed of convergence and Gibbs phenomenon. In addition,
wavelet transforms have showed superiority over the classical Fourier
transforms. In many applications, wavelet transforms converge faster than
Fourier transforms, leading to more efficient processing of signals and data.
In this thesis, we overview the theory of wavelet transforms, as well as, the
theory of Fourier transforms and we make a comparative theoretical study
between the two major transforms proving the superiority of wavelet
transforms over the Fourier transforms in terms of accuracy and the speed
of convergence in many applications.

Introduction
Wavelets were introduced relatively recently, in the beginning of the
1980s. They attracted considerable interest from the mathematical
community and from members of many divers disciplines in which
wavelets had promising applications. A consequence of this interest is the
appearance of several books on this subject and a large volume of research
articles.
The goal of most modern wavelet research is to create asset of basis
functions and transforms that will give an informative, efficient, and useful
description of a function or signal. If the signal is represented as a function
of time, wavelets provide efficient localization in both time and frequency
or scale. Another central idea is that multiresolution were the
decomposition of a signal is in terms of the resolution of detail.
1.1 A Brief History of Wavelets
In the history of mathematics, wavelet analysis shows many different
origins. Much of the work was performed in the 1930s, and, the separate
efforts did not appear to be parts of a coherent theory. Wavelets are
currently being used in fields such as signal and image processing, human
and computer vision, data compression, and many others. Even though the
average person probably knows very little about the concept of wavelets,
the impact that they have in today's technological world is phenomenal.
The first known connection to modern wavelets dates back to a man
named Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier. In 1807, Fourier's efforts with
f ( x )e
iwx
dx .
The next known link to wavelets came 1909 from Alfred Haar . It
appeared in the appendix of a thesis he had written to obtain his doctoral
degree. Haar's contribution to wavelets is very evident. There is an entire
wavelet family named after him. The Haar wavelets are the simplest of the
wavelet family and are easy to understand.
After Haar s contribution to wavelets there was once again a gap of time
in research about the functions until a man named Paul Levy. Levy s
efforts in the field of wavelets dealt with his research with Brownian
motion. He discovered that the scale-varying basis function
created by
Haar (i.e. Haar wavelets) were a better basis than the Fourier basis
functions. Unlike the Haar basis function, which can be chopped up into
different intervals
global (nonlocal) sine and cosine functions as bases, wavelet analysis uses
bases that are localized in time and frequency to represent nonstationary
signals more effectively. As a result, a wavelet representation is much more
compact and easier to implement. Using the powerful multiresolution
analysis, one can represent a signal by a finite sum of components at
different resolutions so that each component can be processed adaptively
based on the objectives of the application. This capability to represent
signals compactly and in several levels of resolution is the major strength
of wavelet analysis.
1.3 Applications
Wavelet analysis is an exiting new method for solving difficult
problems in mathematics, physics, and engineering, with modern
applications as diverse as wave propagation, data compression, image
processing, pattern recognition, computer graphics, the detection of aircraft
and submarines, and improvement in CAT scans and other medical image
technology. Wavelets allow complex information such as music, speech,
images, and patterns to be decomposed in to elementary forms, called the
fundamental building blocks, at different positions and scales and
subsequently reconstructed with high precision.
1.4 Signal analysis
Fourier analysis and the wavelet analysis play the major role in
signal processing. In fact, large part of the development of such transforms
is due to their role in signal processing. In this section, we give a short

square pulses.
Unlike analog signals, which have a continuous domain, the set of real
numbers , discrete signals take values on the set of integers . Each
integer n in the domain of x represents a time instant at which the signal has
a value x (n).

Fourier Analysis
2.1 Introduction
Historically, Joseph Fourier (1770-1830) first introduced the
remarkable idea of expansion of a function in terms of trigonometric series
without rigorous mathematical analysis. The integral formulas for the
coefficients were already known to Leonardo Euler (1707-1783) and
others. In fact, Fourier developed his new idea for finding the solution of
heat equation in terms of Fourier series so that the Fourier series can be
used as a practical tool for determining the Fourier series solution of a
partial differential equation under prescribed boundary conditions.
The subject of Fourier analysis (Fourier series and Fourier transform) is
an old subject in mathematical analysis and is of great importance to
mathematicians, scientist, and engineers alike. The basic goal of Fourier
series is to take a signal, which will be considered as a function of time
variable t, and decompose into various frequency components. In other
words, transform the signal from time domain to frequency domain, so it
can be analyzed and processed. As an application is the digital signal
processing. The basic building blocks are the sine and cosine functions,
which vibrate at frequency of n times per 2 intervals.
2.2 Fourier series
Fourier series is a mathematical tool used to analyze periodic functions
by decomposing such functions into sum of simple functions, which may
be sines and cosines or may be exponentials.

Remarks:
a. If the interval I is bounded, then the uniform convergence implies
convergence in both L1 and L2 norm.
b. The uniform converge always implies the pointwise converges, but the
converse is not true.
c. The uniform convergence is very useful when we want to approximate
some function by sequence of continuous function f n (x) .

There are two consequence of this theorem one of them is that only the
first few terms in the Fourier series are the most important since they
contribute more to the sum which means that only finite number of terms
can be used to approximate the function. This is especially important in
data compression. Another one is used to proof our convergence result.

Some of the features of the Dirichlet kernel can be seen Figure 3. The
symmetry is certainly apparent ( D N (t ) is even) and that the graph oscillates
above and below the horizontal axis is evident. The value of the function is
small except close to 0 where the function is large, and as N increases this
feature becomes more clear. The total area remains fixed always at

The partial sum is overshooting the correct value by about 17.8635%! This
is due the Gibbs Phenomenon. At the location of the discontinuity itself,
the partial Fourier series will converge to the midpoint of the jump.

decomposes a signal defined on an infinite time interval into a w frequency component, where w can be any real (or even complex number).
As we have seen, any sufficiently smooth function f that is periodic can
be built out of sine and cosine. We can also see that complex exponentials
may be used in place of sine and cosine. We shall now use complex
exponentials because they lead to less and simpler computations.

Fourier transform on L2
Until now, we have been making the assumption that a function f must
be in L1 ( ) in order for its Fourier transform to be defined. But we have seen
example like the constant function doesn't belong to L1 ( ) , suggest that we
need to expand the definition to a large class of functions, L2
functions.
The formal definition (2.7.1) of the Fourier transform doesn t make sense
L2
for a general f
belong to L1 ( ) , and hence f (w) doesn t converge . So, we can define the
Fourier transform for such function as follows:

Wavelets Analysis
3.1 Introduction
Wavelets are mathematical functions that cut up data into different
frequency components, and then study each component with a resolution
matched to its scale. They have advantages over traditional Fourier
methods in analyzing physical situations where the signal contains
discontinuities and sharp spikes. Like Fourier analysis, wavelet analysis
deals with expansion of functions in terms of a set of basis functions.
Unlike Fourier analysis, wavelet analysis expands functions not in terms of
trigonometric polynomials but in terms of wavelets, which are generated in
the form of translations and dilations of a fixed function cared the mother
wavelet.
3.2 Continuous Wavelet Transform
The continuous wavelet transform (CWT) provides a method for
displaying and analyzing characteristic of signals that are dependent on
time and scale. The CWT is similar to the Fourier transform in the since
that its based on a single function
unlike the Fourier transform, we also shift the function, thus, the CWT is
an operator that takes a signal and produces a function of two variables:
time and scale, as a function of two variables, it can be considered as
surface or image.
In this section, we give formal definitions of wavelet and CWT of a
function, and the basic properties of them. In addition, we will introduce
56
the inversion formula for the CWT as in case for the Fourier transform. The
CWT is defined with respect to a particular function, called mother
wavelet, which satisfies some particular properties. As the kernel function
of a signal transform, its important that the mother wavelet be designed so
that the transform can be inverted. Even if the application of the CWT
doesn t require such transform inversion, the invertibility of the CWT is
necessary to ensure that no signal information is lost in the CWT.

3.3 Wavelet Series
It has been stated in section 3.2 that the continuous wavelet transform is
a two-parameter representation of a function. In many applications,
especially in signal processing, data are represented by a finite number of
values, so it is important and often useful to consider discrete version of the
continuous wavelet transform.

say .
L2
is an orthonormal basis of L2
j, k
There are several advantages to requiring that the scaling functions and
wavelets be orthogonal. Orthogonal basis functions allow simple
calculation of expansion coefficients and have Parseval's theorem that
allows a partitioning of the signal energy in the wavelet transform domain.
Haar wavelets
The simplest example of an orthonormal wavelet is the classic Haar
wavelet. It was introduced by Haar in 1910 in his PhD thesis. Haar's
motivation was to find a basis of L2 0,1

The most useful class of scaling functions are those that have compact
support, the Haar scaling function is a good example of a compactly
support function. The disadvantage of the Haar wavelets is that they are
discontinuous and therefore do not approximate continuous functions very
well. What is needed is a theory similar to what has been described above
but with continuous versions of our building blocks,

Clearly, the Shannon scaling function doesn't have finite support. However,
its Fourier transform has a finite support in the frequency domain and has
good frequency localization.

Daubechies wavelet
The wavelet that we looked at so far, Haar, Shannon wavelets have all
major drawbacks. Haar wavelets have compact support but are
discontinuous. Shannon wavelets are very smooth but extend throughout
the whole real line. These wavelets, together with a few others having
similar properties, were the only ones available before Ingrid Daubechies
discovered the hierarchy of wavelets that the Haar wavelet, which is the
only discontinuous one. The other wavelets in the hierarchy are compactly
supported and continuous. Wavelet with compact support have many
interesting properties. They can be constructed to have a given number of
derivatives and to have a given number of vanishing moments [4].

cosine terms. The values j give the frequency harmonics. In other words,
the Fourier series is also a two-dimensional expansion, but that is not seen
in the exponential form and generally not noticed in the trigonometric
form.
The coefficients in this wavelet expansion are called the discrete
wavelet transform of the signal f, these wavelet coefficients can be
completely describe the original signal and can be used in a way similar to
Fourier series coefficients for analysis, description, approximation, and
filtering. If the wavelet system is orthogonal, these coefficients can be
calculated by inner products.
The DWT is similar to a Fourier series but, in many ways, is much
more flexible and informative. It can be made periodic like a Fourier series
to represent periodic signals efficiently. However, unlike a Fourier series, it
can be used directly on non-periodic transient signals with excellent results.
The main purpose of this section is to study if such expansions are well
defined and converge in then setting of other function spaces. In particular
we shall study the convergence in L p -norm and the uniform convergence of
wavelet expansions on the real line.

Convergence Analysis
4.1 Introduction
Under certain conditions, a function can be represented with a sum
of sine and cosine functions, which is called a Fourier series. This classical
method is used in applications such as storage of sound waves and visual
images on a computer. One problem with representing a functions with this
type of series is that it takes an infinite number of terms to represent such
function. In practice, only a finite number of terms can be used. Higher
accuracy require the sum of more terms in this series and this will take up
more computer time and storage space. A new type of sum called a wavelet
series was first introduced in the 1980's and found to be more efficient, in
storage and processing, than Fourier series. Efficiency of a series
representation of a signal (function) depends on its convergence which in
turn depends on the rate of decay in its coefficients. In this chapter, we will
investigate the superiority of the wavelet series in representing signals over
the Fourier series through the rate of decay of the coefficients for both
Fourier and wavelet series.
4.2 Rates of decay of Fourier coefficients
The Riemann- lebesgue lemma state that the Fourier coefficients of
an integrable and 2 -periodic function f vanish at infinity, but it provides
no further information about the speed of convergence to zero for such
function. In this section, we shall show the relationship between the

Remark [16]:
Belonging to the class C K or satisfying a Holder condition are two possible
ways to describe the smoothness of a function.

Note that the smoothness of f is directly related to the decay of the Fourier
coefficients, and in general, the smoother of the function, the faster decay.
As a result, we can expect that relatively smooth functions equal their
Fourier series.

4.7 Conclusion
We can summarize the results we obtained in this chapter as follows:
1. If a function f is sufficiently smooth; i.e. f
with mean

On
O2
j(
1 / 2)
Note that the smoothness of f is directly related to the rate of decay for
both coefficients; Fourier and wavelet, but does not affect the rate of decay
of the Haar coefficients. See figure (1).

From the above results we expect that under the same condition of f the
speed of convergence of wavelet series is faster than the speed of
convergence of its Fourier series, and this is one advantage for wavelet. See
figure (2).

Finally, I will end this thesis by setting some differences between both
Fourier and wavelets transform.
1. As we show in chapter 2, the Fourier series of a function with a jump
discontinuity exhibits Gibb's phenomenon. That is, the partial sums
overshoot the function near the discontinuity and this overshoot
continues no matter how many terms are taken in the partial sum. Gibb's
phenomenon does not occur if the partial sum replaced by the arithmetic
mean
similar to
2. We can see that unlike the trigonometric system the Haar system
provide the uniform convergence on the partial sums for continuous
function on [0,1] . This property is shared by most wavelets in contrast
with the Fourier basis for which the best we can expect for continuous
functions is pointwise convergence a.e. Also, the partial sums of the
Fourier series of continuous functions do not necessarily converge. To
expect the uniform convergence we assume that f is a piecewise
smooth function.
3. The wavelet coefficients in the wavelet series expansion of a function
are the integral wavelet transform of the function evaluated at certain
dyadic points
