Abstract:
In this paper we propose two new fast algorithms for computing a local discrete wavelet transform of a regular signal as illustrated by Haar wavelet basis, give expressions for their computational complexity, and compare them with each other, as well as with the existing fast wavelet transform algorithm. We also give recommendations how to use each of the proposed algorithms.  In particular, we indicate preference regions for these algorithms, i.e.  task options for calculation of the wavelet transform, for which these algorithms are computationally efficient. Based on the analysis of algorithms’ complexity, with regard to additional features offered by the recursive algorithm, we may come to conclusion about its advantages compared with the existing alternative fast wavelet transform algorithm. We summarized the considered algorithms for a two-dimensional case.

Key words:
local discrete wavelet transform, computational complexity, recursive algorithm.
