Some equations relating multiwavelets and multiscaling functions (Q2566074)

The author analyzes the relation between scaling functions and wavelets without the use of filters in the context of a generalized multiresolution analysis where the space \(V_0\) is only assumed to be invariant under all integer translations. In Theorem 3.1, one assumes that the scaling functions are given and offers necessary and sufficient conditions for a set of functions to be an associated wavelet. In Theorem 3.2, one starts with a wavelet and derives equations that characterize the associated scaling function. In Theorem 3.5, it is shown that if two sets of functions are related by equations similar to those that link scaling functions and wavelets, then one of the sets will be a wavelet, but the other set is not necessarily the corresponding scaling function. A general procedure is described for constructing normalized tight frame wavelets. Throughout the paper \(n\times n\) dilation matrices \(A\) are assumed to preserve the lattice \({\mathbb Z}^n\).
