"Hyperbolic Wavelet Regression of periodic high-dimensional functions"

Lippert, Laura

We propose a tool for high-dimensional approximation based on hyperbolic wavelet regression, where we only allow low-dimensional dimension interactions. We adapt wavelets on the real axes to construct finite-dimensional periodic wavelet spaces. For functions from some Sobolev space we give a characterization in terms of the wavelet coefficients. This gives us a certain decay of the wavelet coefficients. We study the problem of scattered-data approximation, where we evaluate the basis functions at the given sample points, create a matrix and solve the matrix equation with an LSQR-algorithm to get an approximation. In our case this matrix is sparse, since we deal with compactly supported wavelets. If we choose the number of parameters such that we have logarithmic oversampling, we can give a lower bound for the norm of the Moore-Penrose inverse, so that the LSQR-algorithm gives useful results. If we are concerned with i.i.d. samples we can even bound the worst-case error. If the function has low effective dimension, we can additionally determine the ANOVA decomposition of the approximated function, which allows us to omit ANOVA-terms with low variance in a second step in order to increase the accuracy.
