Abstract

We investigate convergence properties of generalized Walsh series associated with signals fL 1[0,1]. We also show how the dependence of the generalized Walsh bases on N×N unitary matrices allows for applications in signal encoding and encryption, provided the signals are piece-wise constant on N-adic subintervals of [0,1].
