Annihilator, completeness and convergence of wavelet system

Abstract

We show that if $\{ \varphi \}_{Q \in \mathcal{Q}} \in \bigcap \mathcal{M}_{\alpha}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$ is a frame and $\{ \psi_{Q} \}_{Q \in \mathcal{Q}} \in \bigcap \mathcal{M}_{\alpha}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$ is its dual frame (for the definition of $\mathcal{M}_{\alpha}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$, see Definition 2.1), where $\mathcal{Q}$ is the collection of dyadic cubes, then for any $f \in \mathcal{S}'(\mathbb{R}^{n})$, there exists a sequence of polynomials, $P_{L, L', L''}$, such that

\lim_{L, L', L'' \to \infty} \biggl\{ \sum_{-L' \le i \le L} \sum_{|k| \le \delta(i)2^{L''}} \langle f, \psi_{Q_{i, k}} \rangle \varphi_{Q_{i, k}}-P_{L, L', L''} \biggr\} = f

in the topology of $\mathcal{S}'(\mathbb{R}^{n})$, where $\delta(i) = \max(2^{i}, 1)$. We prove this result by explicitly constructing the polynomials $P_{L, L', L''}$. Furthermore, using the above result, we assert that the linear span of the one-dimensional wavelet system is dense in a function space if and only if the dual space of this function space has an trivial intersection with the set of polynomials. This is proved by using the annihilator of the one-dimensional wavelet system.
