In this thesis, two new methods for the construction of multiresolutions of \(L^2({\mathbf R}^d)\) to a given lattice \(\Gamma={\mathbf Z}^d\) and a dilation matrix \({\mathbf A}\) are represented. Furthermore, the properties of these special multiresolutions are studied. The multiresolutions are based on functions being refinable with respect to \({\mathbf A}\). The first method uses a function \(h\) being refinable with respect to \({\mathbf A}^p\), where \(p\in\mathbf {N}\) is arbitrarily choosen. This idea is preferable if there exists an exponent \(p\) such that \({\mathbf A}^p\) is a diagonal matrix. The second method starts with an arbitrary univariate function \(h\), which is refinable with respect to one eigenvalue (as \(1 \times 1\) dilation matrix) of \({\mathbf A}^d\). This technique is applicable, if \({\mathbf A}\) satisfies some further condition. In particular, \({\mathbf A}^d\) has to be a multiple of the identity matrix, but \({\mathbf A}\) itself is not a diagonal matrix. The two methods can provide scaling functions with arbitrarily high regularity and exponential decay. Suitable examples illustrate the theory.
