Compactly supported tight wavelet frames and orthonormal wavelets of exponential decay with a general dilation matrix (Q1811608)

For any \(d\times d\) dilation matrix \(M\) it is proved how to construct compactly supported tight wavelet frames and orthonormal wavelet bases having exponential decay; the bases have the form \(\psi_{j,k}= |\text{det } M|^{j/2}\psi(M^j \cdot -k), j\in \mathbb{Z}, k\in \mathbb{Z}^d\) for some functions \(\psi \in L^2(\mathbb{R}^d)\); they are derived from refinable functions \(\phi\), in the sense that they have the form \(\psi = |\text{det } M|\sum_{k\in \mathbb{Z}^d}b_k \phi (M \cdot -k)\) for some sequence \(\{b_k\}_{k\in \mathbb{Z}^d}\). One of the main results is as follows. Given any positive integer \(r\), there exists a collection \(\Psi\) of at most \((3/2)^d|\text{det } M|\) functions in \(C^r(\mathbb{R}^d)\), derived from a refinable function with compact support, such that \(\Psi\) has vanishing moments of order \(r\) and generates a tight wavelet frame for \(L^2(\mathbb{R}^d)\).
