Step refinable functions and orthogonal MRA on $p$-adic Vilenkin groups

Abstract

We find the necessary and sufficient conditions for refinable step function under which this function generates an orthogonal MRA in the $L_2(\mathfrak G)$ -spaces on Vilenkin groups $\mathfrak G$. We consider a class of refinable step functions for which the mask $m_0(\chi)$ is constant on cosets $\mathfrak G_{-1}^\bot$ and its modulus $|m_0(\chi)|$ takes two values only: 0 and 1. We will prove that any refinable step function $\varphi$ from this class that generates an orthogonal MRA on $p$-adic Vilenkin group $\mathfrak G$ has Fourier transform with condition ${\rm supp} \hat \varphi(\chi)\subset \mathfrak G_{p-2}^\bot$. We show the sharpness of this result too.
