We start with trigonometric waveform libraries. These are localized sine
transforms (LST) associated to covering by intervals of (more
generally, of a manifold).
We consider a cover , with
and
, write
and let
be a window function
supported in
such that
and
then the functions
form an orthonormal basis of subordinate to the partition
. The
collection of such bases forms a library of orthonormal bases (cf. [7]).
It is easy to check that if denotes the space of
functions spanned by
then
is spanned by the functions
where
is a ``window'' function covering the interval .
