Abstract: The construction of a multiresolution analysis starts with specification of a scale function. The Fourier transform of this function is defined by an infinite product. The convergence of this product is usually discussed in the context of

L_{2} (R)

. Here, we treat the convergence problem by viewing the partial products as probabilities, converging weakly to a probability defined on an appropriate sequence space. We obtain a sufficient condition for this convergence, which is also necessary in the case where the scale function is continuous. These results extend and clarify those of A. Cohen, and Hernandez, Wang, and Weiss. The method also applies to more general dilation schemes that commute with translations by

Z^{d}

.

Review text

The authors discuss the specification of scaling functions, which constitute the first step in multiresolution analysis. In the Fourier domain these scaling functions can be expressed as an infinite product of `low pass filters'. The prime interest of the paper is the question of finding necessary and sufficient conditions on the `filters', when they are not necessarily \(C^1(R)\). The authors propose a novel and more general approach by interpreting the squared filters as conditional probabilities. The authors are able to demonstrate that previous results in the field can be seen as special cases of the present work.
