Abstract

This paper presents a reformulation of the construction of nonseparable multiresolution quaternion-valued wavelets on the plane as a feasibility problem. The constraint sets in the feasibility problem are derived from the standard conditions of smoothness, compact support, and orthonormality. To solve the resulting feasibility problems, we employ a product space formulation of the Douglas-Rachford algorithm. This approach yields novel examples of nonseparable, multiresolution, compactly supported, smooth, and orthonormal quaternion-valued wavelets on the plane. Additionally, by introducing a symmetry-promoting constraint, we construct symmetric quaternion-valued scaling functions on the plane.
