In this paper, we classify frame wavelet sets and frame scaling function sets in higher dimensions. Firstly, we obtain a necessary condition for it set to be the frame wavelet sets. Then, we present a necessary and sufficient condition for it set to be a frame scaling function set. We give a property of frame scaling function sets, too. Some corresponding examples are given to prove our theory in each section. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
