Abstract: | ![]() The refinement equation plays a key role in wavelet theory and in subdivision schemes in approximation theory. Viewed as an expression of linear dependence among the time-scale translates of , it is natural to ask if there exist similar dependencies among the time-frequency translates of . In other words, what is the effect of replacing the group representation of induced by the affine group with the corresponding representation induced by the Heisenberg group? This paper proves that there are no nonzero solutions to lattice-type generalizations of the refinement equation to the Heisenberg group. Moreover, it is proved that for each arbitrary finite collection , the set of all functions such that is independent is an open, dense subset of . It is conjectured that this set is all of . |
