We present an algorithm for the construction of a new class of compactly supported interpolating refinable functions that we call the second generation class since, contrary to the existing class, is associated to subdivision schemes with an even-symmetric mask that does not contain the submask {0 ..., 0, 1, 0 ,... 0}. As application examples of the proposed algorithm we present interpolating 4-refinable functions that are generated by parameter-dependent, even-symmetric quaternary schemes never considered in the literature so far.
