Introduction
In recent years, the wavelet transform has been shown to be a successful tool in signal processing applications such as data compression and fast computations. The wavelet transform of with respect to the analyzed wavelet satisfying the admissible condition is defined by
where
(see [1, 2] for example). The inverse wavelet transform of with respect to the analyzed wavelet is defined by
For the time-frequency analysis, we are concerned with better localization in both time and frequency spaces from a point of view of the uncertainty principle. For the well-balanced localization, it would be suitable to consider the Schwartz space regarded as the space of functions which have arbitrary polynomial decay and whose Fourier transforms also have arbitrary polynomial decay (see [3]). For instance, the typical Mexican hat wavelet belongs to spaces of more rapidly decreasing and more regular functions in . In this article we focus on Gelfand-Shilov spaces of functions which have sub-exponential decay and whose Fourier transforms also have sub-exponential decay. For positive constants μ, ν and h such that , we define the Banach Gelfand-Shilov space
with the norm
and the (non-Banach) Gelfand-Shilov space
with the inductive limit topology. The Gelfand-Shilov spaces were originally introduced in [4] and [5]. As well explained in [6] and [7], the Gelfand-Shilov spaces are better adapted to the study of the problems of partial differential equations for which the solutions sub-exponentially decay at infinity.
Remark 1.1
Restricting functions with Fourier transforms supported in the right half-plane, we may also define the Banach progressive Gelfand-Shilov space
and the (non-Banach) progressive Gelfand-Shilov space
Such spaces can be considered in dealing with analytic signals as the Hardy space (see [8]). If the analyzed wavelet ψ belongs to the progressive Gelfand-Shilov space, ψ̂ smoothly tends to zero and also has vanishing moments. For example, the Bessel wavelet defined by for and for belongs to . Actually, we know that , where is the first modified Bessel function of the second kind (see [9]).
For the discrete wavelet case requiring strong additional conditions, the Meyer wavelets or the Gevrey wavelets constructed as in [10] belong to the Gelfand-Shilov spaces. As for the continuous wavelet transform requiring only the admissible condition, there are many possibilities to choose the analyzed wavelet. Boundedness results in a generalized Sobolev space, Besov space and Lizorkin-Triebel space are given in [3]. As for and , [7] and [11] show the continuity properties of wavelet transforms by preparing spaces of functions in a and b, respectively. In this paper, we shall pay careful attention also to the parameter h as the radius of convergence in the analytic class and attempt to find a further detailed estimate with h. So, our purpose is to show the continuity properties in (strong) topologies of Banach Gelfand-Shilov spaces with the use of a vanishing moment condition and to give concrete examples which can indicate the optimality in Section 4.
Results
To state our results, we also introduce the following lemma.
Lemma 2.1
There exist and such that
if and only if .
For the proof refer to [6, 12], etc. Taking Lemma 2.1 into account, we denote another Banach Gelfand-Shilov space combining with the infinite vanishing moment condition ,
We remark that corresponds to with , i.e.,
Remark 2.2
In particular, when is just equal to , it belongs to the Gevrey space of order . So, ν can be taken as .
Remark 2.3
We easily obtain . On the other hand, the weight can be estimated from below as
| 1 |
Therefore, we find that .
Then we prove the following.
Theorem 2.4
Let μ, ν, h, and δ be positive constants such that , . Define that . Then, for the wavelet transform with the wavelet , the following estimates hold:
- for
- for
- for
Remark 2.5
We find that is strictly greater than 1 for since , and has the maximum at the point and .
Remark 2.6
This work is motivated by [7] where f and ψ are allowed to take each different value of parameters ν, μ and have infinite vanishing moments, more precisely vanishing moments of arbitrary polynomial order. Therefore, we have restricted ourselves to the case of f and ψ under the common parameters ν, μ, and have derived the above estimates with δ (concerning vanishing moments of sub-exponential order). For instance, is estimated by [7] with , , and (in the case of f and ψ under the common parameters ν and μ). If one considers small and takes (see Remark 2.2), a similar estimate as (ii) holds since . Thanks to the additional condition of sub-exponential order, (i) for small can become better since and .
Considering the study of the continuity properties in [3, 7] and [11], we introduce spaces of functions in a and b which correspond to the Gelfand-Shilov spaces of functions in x and ξ since and after wavelet transforms. Therefore, we shall define the following weighted space which is a subspace of as far as h is positive:
We remark that if ,
By (i) and (ii), we have
The weight function can be estimated from below as
here we used Remark 2.5 also to eliminate the term . Therefore, by Theorem 2.4, we can also get the following continuity properties.
Corollary 2.7
Let μ, ν, h and δ be constants such that , , and . Then, for the wavelet , the wavelet transform is continuous. In particular, when f also satisfies the infinite vanishing moment condition, the wavelet transform is continuous.
In Section 4 we shall discuss the optimality of our boundedness results in Gelfand-Shilov spaces.
Proof of Theorem 2.4
At first, we introduce the following lemma.
Lemma 3.1
It holds that for
Remark 3.2
The latter inequality is given in [13] and [14], which also shows multiplication algebras for the Gevrey-modulation spaces.

This concludes the proof of Theorem 2.4.
Concrete examples
In this section, we introduce concrete examples according to whether the order of vanishing moments is finite or infinite.
• Case of finite vanishing moments) Let us consider the function and the wavelet
In particular, when , it holds that , and we also see that and with . By the change of variables , we have the wavelet transform

Using the Hölder inequality with

| 5 |
here we used the fact that
Then (i)′ and (ii)′ in Theorem 2.4 become
From estimate (5) it is possible that this example is the near critical case of and since .
Remark 4.1
If we consider the typical example of the Mexican hat wavelet
we see that with . In particular, when , the wavelet transform is computed as
Then (i)′ in Theorem 2.4 becomes
The exponent is not a critical case of with since . Therefore, we gave the new wavelet with .
• Case of infinite vanishing moments) Firstly we prove the following.

Remark 4.3
The change of variables also yields
Proof of Proposition 4.2
Let us put

We may suppose that since is an even function in x. Now we consider the point () and get for
Therefore, by the change of variables , it holds that
To solve this partial differential equation, we shall use the method of separation of variables. By putting , we obtain

| 9 |
We knew that is an even function in advance and supposed that . The last representation also implies that is an even function in x. So, (9) holds for all .
We have derived (9) by solving the partial differential equation. To avoid confusion, let us denote the solution represented as in (9) by . It remains to show the uniqueness of and except the case of . Instead of , we consider for
for the differentiation with respect to s. Then, by Stirling’s formula, we obtain
This implies that is analytic for with arbitrarily fixed . Therefore, we see that is analytic for . □
Remark 4.4
Probably would be analytic also at . But () loses the analyticity at . Indeed, we find that .
The Taylor expansion around a point gives
since is an even function in x. By (9) we also get another Taylor expansion
Then satisfies
and by (8)
Therefore, we get for all and
| 10 |
here we used that
Moreover, the left-hand side of (10) is changed into
Thus, it holds that
Hence, when for all , we find that for all , and recursively for all and . So, we have
This concludes that () must coincide with () for . □
As an application of Proposition 4.2, we can compute the Fourier transform and the wavelet transform of concrete functions in the Gelfand-Shilov spaces. So, now let us take . We see that for some since gives and the Gevrey function gives and by the Paley-Wiener theorem. Then by (2) it follows that
By the Paley-Wiener theorem, we find that for some
This implies that the order (i) in Theorem 2.4 is almost optimal with respect to a and b. Using Proposition 4.2 with and , we have the following.
Theorem 4.5

In this paper, we consider the Banach spaces of Gelfand-Shilov functions satisfying vanishing moment conditions and study the wavelet transforms. Our contributions are as follows:
We derived sharp estimates of the wavelet transforms which are useful for the time-frequency analysis, and stated the continuity properties of the wavelet transforms in Gelfand-Shilov spaces as a corollary.
We computed the Fourier transforms and the wavelet transforms of concrete functions in the Gelfand-Shilov spaces. These examples show the optimality of estimates in Theorem 2.4.
