Wavelets on compact abelian groups (Q778019)

A multiresolution analysis on a compact abelian group~\(G\) is constructed. The role of a dilation operator is played by an epimorphism \(A:\,G\to G\) with a finite kernel such that \(\bigcup_{j\in\mathbb N_0}\ker A^j\) is dense in~\(G\). These assumptions guarantee that an MRA \((V_j)_{j\in\mathbb N_0}\) satisfies the density property \(\overline{\bigcup_{j=0}^\infty V_j}=L^p(G)\). The first main result is a characterization of scaling sequences of an MRA for \(L^p(G)\), \(1<p<\infty\). With the help of the scaling sequence an orthonormal wavelet basis of~\(L^2(G)\) is constructed. The second main result is a proof of the existence of minimally supported frequency MRA for every compact abelian group satisfying the above described assumptions. The paper is well-organized and well-written. The results are stated in a clear way. Necessary notions are introduced and several times illustrated by examples.
