Abstract
In this paper we considerL p-approximation by integer translates of a finite set of functionsϕ v (v=0, ...,r − 1) which are not necessarily compactly supported, but have a suitable decay rate. Assuming that the function vectorϕ=(ϕ =0/ r−1 is refinable, necessary and sufficient conditions for the refinement mask are derived. In particular, if algebraic polynomials can be exactly reproduced by integer translates ofϕ v, then a factorization of the refinement mask ofϕ can be given. This result is a natural generalization of the result for a single functionϕ, where the refinement mask ofϕ contains the factor ((1 +e −iu)/2)m if approximation orderm is achieved.
