The wavelet transform of a function f with respect to a wavelet ψ is

For compactly supported Daubechies wavelets, the bounds can always be taken as finite, and we have

which also defines the s=0 case.

The code provided by Boost merely forwards a lambda to the trapezoidal quadrature routine, which converges quickly due to the Euler-Maclaurin summation formula. However, the convergence is not as rapid as for infinitely differentiable functions, so the default tolerances are modified.

A basic usage is

auto psi = daubechies_wavelet<double, 8>();
auto f = [](double x) {
    return sin(1/x);
};
auto Wf = daubechies_wavelet_transform(f, psi);

double w = Wf(0.8, 7.2);
