I don't understand how to get the equation [itex]\sum_k (-1)^kk^pc_k=0[/itex] from [itex]∫t^pψ(t)dt=0[/itex] from here on page 80. Can somebody explain it?
 
Mathematics news on Phys.org
i can see 5.14 but i can not obtain 5.15 and 5.16.
Actually i get [itex]\sum_k (-1)^kc_k.0=0[/itex] instead of [itex]\sum_k (-1)^k k^p c_k=0[/itex] from the integral [itex]∫t^p [\sum_k (-1)^kc_k \phi(2t+k-N+1)]dt=0[/itex].
 
Then you should go back over the derivations and make sure you understand what they are saying ... starting from the latest that you appear to be able to follow:

5.14 was the case for p=0.
i.e. ##\phi(t)## is capable of expressing only the zeroth monomial.
therefore, the zeroth-order moment of the wavelet function must be zero.
Which is to say...

$$\int_{-\infty}^\infty \psi(t)dt=0$$ ... which, to my mind, means that ##\psi## must be odd... which places limits on the expansion coefficients as the book says.

5.15 was the case for p=1 ... so ##\phi(t)## is capable of expressing up to the first monomial.
therefore, the zeroth and first-order moment of the wavelet function must be zero.
the zeroth order moment is above. The first order is given by...

$$\int t\psi(t)dt =0$$ ... so what steps did you follow from here?
 
I substituted

[itex]\psi(t)=[∑_k(−1)^kc_k\phi(2t+k−N+1)][/itex]

into

[itex]∫t\psi(t)dt[/itex].

Then i got

[itex]∫t[∑_k(−1)^kc_k\phi(2t+k−N+1)]dt=∑_k(−1)^kc_k∫t\phi(2t+k−N+1)]dt=0[/itex].

Actually i am not sure how to find the above integral but i did some change of variables and used integration by parts however i could not reach [itex]∑_k(−1)^kkc_k[/itex].
