Correlation structure of the discrete wavelet coefficients of fractional Brownian motion

Abstract

It is shown that the discrete wavelet coefficients of fractional Brownian motion at different scales are correlated and that their auto- and cross-correlation functions decay hyperbolically fast at a rate much faster than that of the autocorrelation of the fractional Brownian motion itself. The rate of decay of the correlation function in the wavelet domain is primarily determined by the number of vanishing moments of the analyzing wavelet.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
