What approximations?

An orthogonal multiresolution approximation defines an orthogonal projector on each of the resolution spaces. In the biorthogonal case, the decomposition

defines a (non necessarily orthogonal) projector on V0, and, after rescaling, a projector on each resolution Vj. The projection of a signal f is:

This projection is an approximation of f under the following conditions:

The sufficient condition can be interpreted as follows: the projection on Vj is able to "catch" Taylor expansions of f up to degree p at intervals of length 2j.

The general Stang and Fix conditions are available with proof (PDF v.3, 107 K).

Remark

The definition of multiresolution approximations specifies

Is this compatible with the previous theorem? (Answer)
