Mexican hat wavelet

Syntax

• [PSI,X] = mexihat(LB,UB,N)
  

Description

[PSI,X] = mexihat(LB,UB,N) returns values of the Mexican hat wavelet on an N point regular grid, X, in the interval [LB,UB].

Output arguments are the wavelet function PSI computed on the grid X.

This wavelet has [-5 5] as effective support.

This function is proportional to the second derivative function of the Gaussian probability density function.

Examples

• % Set effective support and grid parameters. 
  lb = -5; ub = 5; n = 1000; 
  
  % Compute and plot Mexican hat wavelet. 
  [psi,x] = mexihat(lb,ub,n); 
  plot(x,psi), title('Mexican hat wavelet')
