Given a function ψ in L2(Rd), the affine (wavelet) system generated by ψ, associated to an invertible matrix a and a lattice Γ, is the collection of functions {| det a|j/2ψ(ajx−γ) : j ∈ Z, γ ∈ Γ}. In this article we prove that the set of functions generating affine systems that are a Riesz basis of L2(Rd) is dense in L2(Rd). We also prove that a stronger result is true for affine systems that a...
