A method for the decomposition of data functions sampled on a finite fragment of rectangular lattice is described. The symmetry of a square lattice in a 2-dimensional real Euclidean space is either given by the semisimple Lie group SU(2)×SU(2)\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$SU(2)\times SU(2)$$\end{document} or equivalently by the Lie algebra A1×A1\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$A_1\times A_1$$\end{document}, or by the simple Lie group O(5) or its Lie algebra called C2\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$C_2$$\end{document} or equivalently B2\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$B_2$$\end{document}. In this paper we consider the first of these possibilities which is applied to data which is given in 2 orthogonal directions—hence the method is a concatenation of two 1-dimensional cases. The asymmetry we underline here is a different density of discrete data points in the two orthogonal directions which cannot be studied with the simple Lie group symmetry.
