ABSTRACT

We begin wi th a scaling function 0, a real valued function on R which is r times differentiate and whose derivatives are continuous and rapidly decreasing. That is, cj) satisfies

and hence (j) £ Sr. In order for it to qualify as a scaling function, there must be associated wi th cj) a multiresolution analysis of L 2 ( R ) , i.e., a nested sequence of closed subspaces {Vmjm^z such that

r (i) {(pit — n)} is an orthonormal basis of Vo
