Wavelets and wavelet packets related to a class of dilation matrices (Q1780300)

A basic topic in multivariate wavelet analysis is to construct nonseparable orthonormal wavelet bases on \({\mathbb R}^s\) associated to a given dilation matrix \(A\). The purpose of the paper is to obtain an explicit construction when \(A\) belongs to a very special class of integer upper triangular block matrices, in the cases \(3\leq s\leq 6\). Previously, \textit{R.-Q. Jia} and \textit{C. A. Michelli} [Curves and surfaces, Pap. Int. Conf., Chamonix-Mont-Blanc/Fr. 1990, 209--246 (1991; Zbl 0777.41013)] considered this problem for \(A=2I\) and \(s\leq 3\). The author first shows that there exists a number of non-trivial examples for these special matrices \(A\), then the construction for wavelets with a scaling function defined by a refinement equation with such a matrix as the dilation matrix is obtained, and also the corresponding wavelet packets are constructed.
