Construction of multivariate compactly supported tight wavelet frames

Two simple constructive methods are presented to compute compactly supported tight wavelet frames for any given refinable function whose mask satisfies the QMF or sub-QMF conditions in the multivariate setting. We use one of our constructive methods in order to find tight wavelet frames associated with multivariate box splines, e.g., bivariate box splines on a three or four directional mesh. Moreover, a construction of tight wavelet frames with maximum vanishing moments is given, based on rational masks for the generators. For compactly supported bi-frame pairs, another simple constructive method is presented.
