We study the completeness properties of the set of wavelets in L-2(R). It i
s well-known that this set is not closed in the unit ball of L-2(R). Howeve
r, if one considers the metric inherited as a subspace (in the Fourier tran
sform side) of L-2(R, d xi) boolean AND L-2(R-*, d xi/\xi\), we do obtain a
complete metric space.
