Analysis of directional higher order jump discontinuities with trigonometric shearlets

Abstract

In a recent article, we showed that trigonometric shearlets are able to detect directional step discontinuities along edges of periodic characteristic functions. In this paper, we extend these results to multivariate periodic functions which have jump discontinuities in higher order directional derivatives along edges. In order to prove suitable upper and lower bounds for the shearlet coefficients, we need to generalize the results about localization- and orientation-dependent decay properties of the corresponding inner products of trigonometric shearlets and the underlying periodic functions.
