They are used in signal denoising, Galerkin methods for PDEs, and compression. The canonical reference on these functions is Daubechies' monograph /Ten Lectures on Wavelets/, whose notational conventions we attempt to follow here. A basic usage is as follows: auto phi = boost::math::daubechies_scaling(); double y = phi(0.38); double dydx = phi.prime(0.38); auto psi = boost::math::daubechies_wavelet(); y = psi(0.38); Note that the constructor call is expensive, as it must assemble a /dyadic grid/--values of [sub /p/]\u03C6 at dyadic rationals, i.e., numbers of the form n/2[super /j/]. You should only instantiate this class once in the duration of a program. The class is pimpl'd and all its member functions are threadsafe, so it can be copied cheaply and shared between threads. The default number of grid refinements is chosen so that the relative error is controlled to ~2-3 ULPs away from the right-hand side of the support, where superexponential growth of the condition number of function evaluation makes this impossible. However, controlling relative error of Daubechies wavelets and scaling functions is much more difficult than controlling absolute error, and the memory consumption is much higher in relative mode. The memory consumption of the class can be queried via int64_t mem = phi.bytes(); and if this is deemed unacceptably large, the user may choose to control absolute error via calling the constructor with the `grid_refinements` parameter set to -2, so auto phi = boost::math::daubechies_scaling(-2); gives a scaling function which keeps the absolute error bounded by roughly the double precision unit roundoff. If context precludes the ability to reuse the class throughout the program, it makes sense to reduce the accuracy even further. This can be done by specifying the grid refinements, for example, auto phi = boost::math::daubechies_scaling(12); creates a Daubechies scaling function interpolated from a dyadic grid computed down to depth /j/ = 12. The call to the constructor is exponential time in the number of grid refinements, and the call operator, `.prime`, and `.double_prime` are constant time. Note that the only reason that this is a class, rather than a free function is that the dyadic grids would make the Boost source download extremely large. Hence, it may make sense to precompute the dyadic grid and dump it in a `.cpp` file; this can be achieved via using boost::multiprecision::float128; int grid_refinements = 12; constexpr const derivative = 0; constexpr const p = 8; std::vector v = boost::math::dyadic_grid(grid_refinements); Note that quad precision is the most accurate precision provided, for both the dyadic grid and for the scaling function. 1ULP accuracy can only be achieved for float and double precision, in well-conditioned regions. Derivatives are only available if the wavelet and scaling function has sufficient smoothness. The compiler will gladly inform you of your error if you try to call `.prime` on [sub 2]\u03C6, which is not differentiable, but be aware that smoothness increases with the number of vanishing moments. The axioms of a multiresolution analysis ensure that integer shifts of the scaling functions are elements of the multiresolution analysis; a side effect is that the supports of the (unshifted) wavelet and scaling functions are arbitrary. For this reason, we have provided `.support()` so that you can check our conventions: auto [a, b] = phi.support(); For definiteness though, for the scaling function, the support is always [0, /2p/ - 1], and the support of the wavelet is [ -/p/ + 1, /p/].
