We characterize the orthogonal frames and orthogonal multiwavelet frames in L2 R with matrix dilations of the form Df x √ |detA|f Ax , where A is an arbitrary expanding d × d matrix with integer coefficients. Firstly, through two arbitrarily multiwavelet frames, we give a simple construction of a pair of orthogonal multiwavelet frames. Then, by using the unitary extension principle, we present ...
