Combined MSF multiwavelets (Q1601992)

We say that a matrix \(A \in \text{Gl}(n,\mathbb{R})\) is an expansive dilation matrix if all its eigenvalues \(\lambda\) satisfy \(|\lambda|>1\). A family formed from a finite collection of functions \(\psi_1, \ldots, \psi_L \in L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)\) by lattice translations and by dilations by integer powers of an expansive matrix \(A\), is called a multiwavelet. In this paper the author introduces the notion of a combined MSF multiwavelet, i.e., a wavelet such that the union of supports of the Fourier transforms of generating functions \(\{{\widehat \psi_l}\), \(l=1, \ldots, L\}\), has minimal Lebesgue measure. This is more general than the notion of MSF multiwavelets, where we require the support of each \(\widehat \psi_l\) to be minimal. Combined MSF multiwavelets are characterized and it is proven that for a.e. expansive dilations biorthogonal multiwavelets are combined MSF multiwavelets.
