Remark 3.

The translates of the scaling function are selected for the basis since this basis defines a translation invariant expansion. If the usual wavelet-scaling function basis was selected the expansion would not be translation invariant, and, therefore, unsuitable for hyperbolic systems. We have recently defined a translation invariant wavelet transformation that could be applied to hyperbolic systems [29,30,31,32].
