Meyer wavelet

The Meyer wavelet is an orthogonal wavelet proposed by Yves Meyer. It is infinitely differentiable with infinite support and defined in frequency domain in terms of function $\nu$ as:

\Psi ( \omega) := \begin{cases} \frac {1}{\sqrt{2\pi}} \sin\left(\frac {\pi}{2} \nu \left(\frac{3|\omega|}{2\pi} -1\right)\right) e^{j\omega/2} & \text{if } 2 \pi /3<|\omega|< 4 \pi /3, \\ \frac {1}{\sqrt{2\pi}} \cos\left(\frac {\pi}{2} \nu \left(\frac{3| \omega|}{4 \pi}-1\right)\right) e^{j \omega/2} & \text{if } 4 \pi /3<| \omega|< 8 \pi /3, \\ 0 & \text{otherwise}, \end{cases}

where:

\nu (x) := \begin{cases} 0 & \text{if } x < 0, \\ x & \text{if } 0< x < 1, \\ 1 & \text{if } x > 1. \end{cases}

There are many different ways for defining this auxiliary function, which yields variants of the Meyer wavelet. For instance, another standard implementation adopts

\nu (x) := \begin{cases} {x^4}(35-84x+70{x^2}-20{x^3}) & \text{if } 0< x < 1, \\ 0 & \text{otherwise}. \end{cases}

Spectrum of the Meyer wavelet.

The Meyer scale function is given by:

\Phi ( \omega) := \begin{cases} \frac {1}{\sqrt{2\pi}} & \text{if } | \omega|< 2 \pi /3, \\ \frac {1}{\sqrt{2\pi}} \cos\left(\frac {\pi}{2} \nu \left(\frac{3|\omega|} {2\pi}-1\right) \right) & \text{if } 2\pi/3<|\omega|< 4\pi/3, \\ 0 & \text{otherwise}. \end{cases}

In the time-domain, the waveform of the Meyer mother-wavelet has the shape as shown in the following figure:
