The authors present a generalization of Multi-Resolution Analysis (MRA) theory for abstract Hilbert spaces with respect to a certain family of unitary systems. This generalization includes all classical results on the existence and construction of orthonormal wavelets associated with MRA. Robertson's theorem on wandering subspaces for Abelian unitary operator group is generalized. From this generalization, the existence of sets of wavelet vectors associated with MRAs of abstract Hilbert spaces satisfying certain very general hypothesis is established. Next, an algorithm is given for the construction of these sets of wavelet vectors, by generalizing the original Meyer's programme on the construction of orthonormal wavelets associated with MRA of \(L^2(\mathbb{R})\). Finally, the authors study the connection of wavelets with MRA of \(L^2(\mathbb{R})\) and introduce the class of the generalized frame MRAs of abstract Hilbert spaces, such that every orthonormal wavelet is associated with a MRA in this new class. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0930.00049].
