Abstract

We consider the two-scale refinement equation f(x)=Σn=0N cnf(2x-n) with Σn c2n = Σn c2n+1 = 1 where c0, cN ≠ 0 and the corresponding subdivision scheme. We study the convergence of the subdivision scheme and the cascade algorithm when all cn ≥ 0. It has long been conjectured that under such an assumption the subdivision algorithm converge, and the cascade algorithm converge uniformly to a continuous function, if and only if only if 0 c0, cN S = {n: cn 0} is 1. We prove the conjecture for a large class of refinement equations.
