Analysis and construction of a family of refinable functions based on generalized Bernstein polynomials (Q300550)

A further family of refinable functions is constructed from generalized Bernstein polynomials. The convergence of the corresponding cascade algorithms is implemented, which shows the existence of refinable functions. Stability of the subdivision schemes, regularity and approximation orders are analyzed. The symmetry and compactly supported refinable functions are considered. The symmetry of the refinable functions is illustrated. This paper is organized as follows: Section 2 collects some notations. Section 3 elaborates the convergence of cascade algorithms based on the masks. Section 4 constructs a Riesz wavelet basis. Section 5 analyzes the stability of the subdivision schemes. Section 6 shows the regularity and the influences of the parameters on the decay rate. Section 7 gives the approximation order of the refinable functions. Section 8 illustrates the symmetry of the refinable functions.
