0. Introduction
We consider the Laguerre functions dened on K= [0;+∞[×R; by
’; m(x; t) = eite−||x
2=2L(m)(||x2)
L(m)(0)
;
where (; m)∈R×N; ∈R; ¿0 and L()
m is the Laguerre polynomial of degree m and order
. These functions satisfy a product formula which permits to build a harmonic analysis on K
(generalized convolution product, generalized Fourier transform,...) (see [5, 7]).
In [3, 5], we have studied a continuous wavelet analysis associated with Laguerre functions. This theory has been used in [4] to invert the generalized Radon transform.
The objective of this paper is to present a general construction of generalized wavelet packets starting from the precedent wavelet analysis.
According to [1, 2, 6] we mean by generalized wavelet packets families of functions generated from a single one by simple transformations and whose relative bandwidth is not constant and can be matched to a given analysed function.
It is believed that generalized wavelet expansions as discussed here will be a very useful tool in many areas of mathematics (see [7]).
This paper is organized as follows. In Section 1 we study a harmonic analysis associated with Laguerre functions. We dene and study in Sections 2 and 3, the generalized wavelet packets and
the corresponding generalized wavelet packets transforms and we prove for these transforms the Plancherel, Calderon and reconstruction formulas.

Then g is a generalized wavelet on K, and we have Cg= 1=4r2.

(ii) is an immediate consequence of Theorem 1.1(iii).
Denition 2.2. (i) The sequence{gpj}j∈Z is called generalized wavelet packet (also called P-wavelet
packet).
(ii) The function gpj; j∈Z, is called generalized P-wavelet packet member of step j.
Proposition 2.2. For allj∈Z; and (x; t)∈K; the function gp
Proof. The statements follow from (2.3),(2.4) and the properties of the generalized translation op-erators.
Denition 2.3. Let {gpj}j∈Z be a generalized P-wavelet packet. The generalized P-wavelet packet

This transform can also be written in the form
gp(f)(j;(x; t)) =f∗gpj(x; t); (2.5)
where ∗ is the convolution product given in Denition 1.1.

the assertion follows from (2.3) and Theorem 1.1(iii). (ii) We obtain the result from (i).

The other assertions are immediate.
The following result is called Calderon’s formula for p g.

(i) We suppose that f∈L1
(K) such that F(f)∈L1(R×N). From the relations (2.4) and (2.5), we
have
gp(f)(j;(y; s))gpj;(x;t)(y; s) =f∗gpj(y; s)T((y; s))gpj(x; t):
If the functions (y; s)→f∗gpj(y; s) and (y; s)→T
() (y; s)g
