Convergence and error estimate of cascade algorithms with infinitely supported masks in Lp(R~s)

The cascade algorithm plays an important role in computer graphics and wavelet analysis.In this paper,we first investigate the convergence of cascade algorithms associated with a polynomially decaying mask and a general dilation matrix in L p (R s) (1 p ∞) spaces,and then we give an error estimate of the cascade algorithms associated with truncated masks.It is proved that under some appropriate conditions if the cascade algorithm associated with a polynomially decaying mask converges in the L p-norm,then the cascade algorithms associated with the truncated masks also converge in the L p-norm.Moreover,the error between the two resulting limit functions is estimated in terms of the masks.
