Linear independence of translates of a box spline (Q790374): Difference between revisions

A box spline \(M_{\Xi}\) is a distribution on \(R^ m\) given by \[ M_{\Xi}:\phi \to \int_{[0,1]^ n}\phi(\sum^{n}_{i=1} \lambda(i)\xi_ i)d\lambda \] for some sequence \(\Xi:=(\xi_ i)^ n_ 1\subset R^ m\). In the case \(\Xi \subset V=Z^ m\), \textit{C. de Boor} and \textit{K. Höllig} [see the article reviewed above] have shown that \(\{M_{\Xi}(\cdot -v)\); \(v\in V\}\) is linearly dependent unless \(<\Xi>\) (the affine hull of \(\Xi)=R^ m\) and \(| \det(Z)| =1\) for all bases \(Z\subset \Xi\). They also ask whether the converse is true. In this paper the author gives an affirmative answer to their question. For more information about this problem see \textit{W. Dahmen} and \textit{C. A. Micchelli}, Linear Algebra Appl. 52, 217-234 (1983).
