Detecting Discontinuities and Breakdown Points

Signals with very rapid evolutions such as transient signals in dynamic systems may undergo abrupt changes such as a jump, or a sharp change in the first or second derivative. Fourier analysis is usually not able to detect those events. The purpose of this example is to show how analysis by wavelets can detect the exact instant when a signal changes and also the type (a rupture of the signal, or an abrupt change in its first or second derivative) and amplitude of the change. In image processing, one of the major applications is edge detection, which also involves detecting abrupt changes.
