Definition
Normalized dyadic chart
Coordinates divided by a fixed band scale so that a scale-localized region has order-one size.
Fix a dyadic band with scale . For exponents , normalized coordinates are ; for a time distance , one may also set . The number is constant within the chart.
Derivatives
For , where is constant on this chart,
Even if a variable scale is comparable to on the band, differentiating a normalized chart holds fixed. Replacing by defines a different coordinate change and introduces chain-rule terms. Auxiliary parameters are held fixed unless their derivatives are explicitly included.
