Abstract
In this chapter, we briefly recall the concept of multiscale approximations of functions by means of wavelet expansions. We present a short overview on the basic construction principles and discuss the most important properties of wavelets such as characterizations of function spaces. Moreover, we explain how wavelets can be used in signal/image analysis, particularly for compression and denoising.
