Generalized Matrix Spectral Factorization with Symmetry and Construction of Quasi-Tight Framelets over Algebraic Number Fields

Abstract

The rational field Q is highly desired in many applications. Algorithms using the rational number field Q algebraic number fields use only integer arithmetics and are easy to implement. Therefore, studying and designing systems and expansions with coefficients in Q or algebraic number fields is particularly interesting. This paper discusses constructing quasi-tight framelets with symmetry over an algebraic field. Compared to tight framelets, quasi-tight framelets have very similar structures but much more flexibility in construction. Several recent papers have explored the structure of quasi-tight framelets. The construction of symmetric quasi-tight framelets directly applies the generalized spectral factorization of 2×2 matrices of Laurent polynomials with specific symmetry structures. We adequately formulate the latter problem and establish the necessary and sufficient conditions for such a factorization over a general subfield F of C, including algebraic number fields as particular cases. Our proofs of the main results are constructive and thus serve as a guideline for construction. We provide several examples to demonstrate our main results.
