Abstract

The Easy Path Wavelet Transform (EPWT) (Plonka, 2009) [26] has recently been proposed by one of the authors as a tool for sparse representations of bivariate functions from discrete data, in particular from image data. The EPWT is a locally adaptive wavelet transform. It works along pathways through the array of function values and it exploits the local correlations of the given data in a simple appropriate manner. In this paper, we aim to provide a theoretical understanding of the performance of the EPWT. In particular, we derive conditions for the path vectors of the EPWT that need to be met in order to achieve optimal N-term approximations for piecewise Holder smooth functions with singularities along curves.
