If, for a subset S of Z, we compare the conditions of being parametrizable (a) by a single k-tuple of polynomials with integer coefficients, (b) by a single k-tuple of integer-valued polynomials and (c) by finitely many k-tuples of polynomials with integer coefficients (variables ranging through the integers in each case), then a ⇒ b (obviously), b ⇒ c, and neither implication is reversible. We...

Starting from any two compactly supported d-refinable function vectors in ( L2(R) )r with multiplicity r and dilation factor d, we show that it is always possible to construct 2rd wavelet functions with compact support such that they generate a pair of dual d-wavelet frames in L2(R) and they achieve the best possible orders of vanishing moments. When all the components of the two real-valued d-...
