Local trigonometric bases

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 .
