Abstract

We prove that, given a wavelet ψ\psi, it is possible to choose some multi-integers (pj=(pj,1,...,pj,d))jZZd(p_j=(p_{j,1},...,p_{j,d}))_{j \in \mathbb{Z}} \in \mathbb{Z}^d such that, for every x=(x1,...,xd)Rdx=(x_1,...,x_d) \in \mathbb{R}^d, for infinitely many integers jj, the tensorized wavelet i=1dψ(2jxipj,i)\prod_{i=1}^d \psi(2^j x_i-p_{j,i}) does not vanish at xx. This non-vanishing property is essential for analyzing some generic regularity properties in certain Sobolev and Besov spaces. The proof relies on an assumption regarding the zeros of ψ\psi, which we numerically verify for the first Daubechies wavelets.
