Grochenig and Madych showed that a Haar-type wavelet basis of L 2 (R n ) can be constructed from the characteristic function xn of a compact set O if and only if fl is an integral self-affine tile of Lebesgue measure one. In this paper we generalize their result to the multiwavelet settings. We give a complete characterization of Haar-type scaling function vectors Xn(x) := [XQi ( x )i • • • J XQr ( X )] T i where ft = (fii, ..., ft r ) is an r-tuple of compact sets in R n . We call Q a self-affine multi-tile because Q^'s tile R n by translation and have the property that each affine image A(Qi) is the union of translates of some fij's. We also construct associated Haar-type multiwavelets , and present examples using various dilation matrices A.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
