The Wavelet Matrix, also called the Haar matrix, is very useful. We can find some useful information in MathWorld on how to generate it, but this document is too hard for me. From my reading of the Wiki page, maybe KroneckerProduct can be of help. Can anybody make it a custom function?

  • $\begingroup$ Arndt's Matters Computational has a prolly more understandable discussion. $\endgroup$ Jul 5, 2016 at 2:16
  • $\begingroup$ Yode, as it stands your question reads as a request for others to do your work. Perhaps you could at least make the question self-contained by including a definition of this matrix, its properties, and an example. You should also show what you have tried so far that hasn't worked for you. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @MarcoB I'm sorry.And thanks for your direction.It's a pity I cannot find a good regulation about this matrix up to now result in I don't know how to give the first try.If I have,I'll add it in the post. $\endgroup$

Update-2:

More compact version proposed by J. M. with the matrix normalized:

steps = 3; (*order = 2^step*)
h = Nest[Join[KroneckerProduct[#, {1, 1}], 
              KroneckerProduct[IdentityMatrix[Length[#]], {1, -1}]] &, {{1}}, steps];
Orthogonalize[h] // MatrixForm

enter image description here

Update-1:

Creates un-normalized Haar matrix for $\text{order} = 2^n$.

steps = 3; (*order = 2^step*)

h = {{1, 1}, {1, -1}}; (*2x2*)
Do[
 hn = KroneckerProduct[h, {1, 1}];
 hi = KroneckerProduct[IdentityMatrix[Length[h]], {1, -1}];
 h = Join[hn, hi]
 , (steps-1)]
h // MatrixForm

enter image description here

    $\begingroup$ Slightly more compact: Nest[Join[KroneckerProduct[#, {1, 1}], KroneckerProduct[IdentityMatrix[Length[#]], {1, -1}]] &, {{1, 1}, {1, -1}}, 2] $\endgroup$ Jul 5, 2016 at 10:24

    $\begingroup$ If normalization is desired, Orthogonalize[] does it in one blow. $\endgroup$ Jul 5, 2016 at 18:36
