Some properties of five-coefficient refinement equation (Q1924910)

Let \(\varphi\) be the solution of the refinement equation \[ \varphi (x) = \sum^4_{k = 0} c_k \varphi (3x - k), \quad \widehat \varphi (0) = 1, \] where \(\widehat \varphi\) denotes the Fourier transform of \(\varphi\) and \(\sum^4_{k = 0} c_k = 3\). In this paper we consider global linear independence and local linear independence of \(\varphi\)'s integer translates, Hölder continuity of \(\varphi\), a multiresolution generated by \(\varphi\) and the explicit construction of compactly supported wavelets from the above multiresolution. Especially, we show that \(\varphi\) is Hölder continuous and its integer translates are globally linearly independent but locally linearly dependent when \(c_0=c_4=1-c_1 = 1 - c_3\), \(c_2 = 1\) and \(|c_0 |\), \(|c_1 |< 1\).
