On p-adic tight wavelet frames

Abstract

We propose a simple method to constructing step mask and corresponding step wavelet functions that generate tight wavelet frames on the field Qp of p-adic numbers. To construct this mask we use three new ideas. First, we consider only an additive group of the field Qp. Second, to construct the mask we use a special tree. Thirdly, we do not use the principle of unitary extension, we use Pontryagin's principle of duality instead. Using this method, we obtain all step refinable functions.
