We summarise the construction of exact axisymmetric scale-discretised wavelets on the sphere and on the ball. The wavelet transform on the ball relies on a novel 3D harmonic transform called the Fourier-Laguerre transform which combines the…

We consider the problem of finding a subcomplex K' of a simplicial complex K such that K' is homeomorphic to the 2-dimensional sphere, S^2. We study two variants of this problem. The first asks if there exists such a K' with at most k…

Scale-discretised wavelets yield a directional wavelet framework on the sphere where a signal can be probed not only in scale and position but also in orientation. Furthermore, a signal can be synthesised from its wavelet coefficients…
In this article, we construct discrete tight frames for $L^2(\mathbb{S}^{d-1})$, $d\geq3$, which consist of localized polynomial wavelets with adjustable degrees of directionality. In contrast to the well studied isotropic case, these…
We study an optimal partition problem on the sphere, where the cost functional is associated with the fractional $Q$-curvature in terms of the conformal fractional Laplacian on the sphere. By leveraging symmetries, we prove the existence of…
A wavelet is a special case of a vector in a separable Hilbert space that generates a basis under the action of a collection, or system, of unitary operators. We will describe the operator-interpolation approach to wavelet theory using the…
Orthogonal wavelets, or wavelet frames, for L^2(R) are associated with quadrature mirror filters (QMF). The latter constitute a set of complex numbers which relate the dyadic scaling of functions on R to the Z-translates, and which satisfy…
We describe S2LET, a fast and robust implementation of the scale-discretised wavelet transform on the sphere. Wavelets are constructed through a tiling of the harmonic line and can be used to probe spatially localised, scale-depended…
