SymletWavelet

SymletWavelet
represents the Symlet wavelet of order 4.
SymletWavelet[n]
represents the Symlet wavelet of order n.
MORE INFORMATION
  • SymletWavelet, also known as "least asymmetric" wavelet, defines a family of orthogonal wavelets.
  • The scaling function () and wavelet function () have compact support length of 2n. The scaling function has n vanishing moments.
