SymletWavelet
represents the Symlet wavelet of order 4.
represents the Symlet wavelet of order n.
Details

- SymletWavelet, also known as "least asymmetric" wavelet, defines a family of orthogonal wavelets.
- SymletWavelet[n] is defined for any positive integer n.
- The scaling function (
) and wavelet function (
) have compact support length of 2n. The scaling function has n vanishing moments.
- SymletWavelet can be used with such functions as DiscreteWaveletTransform and WaveletPhi, etc.
