Description
We propose a new multifractal formalism, based on histograms of
wavelet coefficients. This new formalism yields a spectrum of
H\"older and oscillating singularity exponents, and is not limited
to concave spectra. We show that the corresponding upper bound
holds with a minimal global regularity hypothesis. This upper
bound is achieved for almost all realizations of a stochastic
process called random wavelet series, obtained by drawing
independently the wavelet coefficients with a general
scale-dependent law.
