Construction of a Symmetric Subdivision Scheme Reproducing Polynomials

Abstract

Abstract. In this work, we study on subdivision schemes reproducing polynomials and build a symmetric subdivision scheme reproducing polynomials of a certain predetermined degree, which is a slight variant of the family of Deslauries-Dubic interpolatory ones. Related to polynomial reproduction, a necessary and sufficient condition for a subdivision scheme to reproduce polynomials of degree L was recently established under the assumption of non-singularity of subdivision schemes. In case of stepwise polynomial reproduction, we give a characterization for a subdivision scheme to reproduce stepwise all polynomials of degree ≤ L without the assumption of non-singularity. This characterization shows that we can investigate the polynomial reproduction property only by checking the odd and even masks of the subdivision scheme.The minimal-support condition being relaxed, we present explicitly a general formula for the mask of (2n + 4)-point symmetric subdivision scheme with two parameters that reproduces all polynomials of degree ≤ 2n+1. The uniqueness of such a symmetric subdivision scheme is proved, provided the two parameters are given arbitrarily. By varying the values of the parameters, this scheme is shown to become various other well known subdivision schemes, ranging from interpolatory to approximating.
